Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 226 lands the Dolphins a B-, McCord and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kyle McCord tumbling to the Dolphins in pick 226 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slid further than he should have, and slot 23 is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in the 51st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge is a better player than pick 87 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 98, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board had Kevin Winston Jr. higher than the Round 4 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick121 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Donovan Jackson reach the 121st pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Steal is underselling it; Ajani Cornelius at No. 135 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 5, Pick 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 8, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at pick No. 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
