Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Dolphins to a D.

The war room fell hard for Mitchell Evans, and it showed at pick No. 232: 45 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Put together, it is a D.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. They banked enough surplus on Allar to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Will Campbell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Campbell. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 25th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
By-the-book stuff, Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Drew Allar
They will replay Drew Allar at pick No. 98 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at slot 99 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
They read the board right and Smael Mondon Jr. was the payoff at No. 100. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 151st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They did well to land Lathan Ransom in the 152nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick201 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
They talked themselves into Mason Taylor at pick No. 201, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
They went early on Anthony Belton in slot 227, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Mitchell Evans
A real head-scratcher, Mitchell Evans in No. 232 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Will Howard
A premium they did not need to pay, Will Howard a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
