Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

Call it larceny. Skyler Bell sat on the board until No. 130, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Brailsford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the 11th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all.
Pick30 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the 30th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at pick 43 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in the 75th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 87th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jalen Farmer
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Farmer at pick No. 90, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 94, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
They will replay Skyler Bell at slot 130 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They left a pile of value on the table to take Robert Spears-Jennings this early at Round 7, Pick 11. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Circle this one: Thaddeus Dixon at Round 7, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
