Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Dayon Hayes, 127 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bassa. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They took Dylan Fairchild at par in Round 2, Pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Logan Brown
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Brown. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Donovan Smith
A wild overpay on Donovan Smith in the 114th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 133 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
A real head-scratcher, Dayon Hayes in No. 149 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 154, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They will replay Brant Kuithe at the 224th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at pick 231 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
