Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureC+
The Dolphins let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Jaylin Simpson slides to the 186th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Driskell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 30 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A reach for Cooper Beebe in the 62nd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Johnny Wilson at pick 91. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 4, Pick 24 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
A real head-scratcher, Ethan Driskell in the 158th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in pick No. 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
Maurice Smith in slot 242 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
