Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Dolphins will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
No edge and no loss on Jermod McCoy in No. 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick28 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in pick No. 43 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at Round 4, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 149th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in pick 195, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joey Aguilar in slot 227. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
