Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Walker: B.

Somebody in pick 48 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Jalon Walker, the No. 24 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Kandra pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 13 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Circle this one: Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Restrepo at slot 98, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick No. 116 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They reached into another round for Luke Kandra, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 150th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy bit of business in No. 155, where Logan Brown graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 7, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alijah Huzzie at the 231st pick is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick253 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre is a better player than the 253rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
