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

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 118 picks early on Eric Gentry, and the board is going to hold them to it. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Branch at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 11 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 30th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel Pregnon in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to pick 75, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at Round 3, Pick 26 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the 91st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 97 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
You do not let a cornerback like Tacario Davis reach pick No. 130 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick131 Rnd4 Joe Royer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joe Royer in slot 131. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
They went early on Demond Claiborne in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 23 with a little surplus value in Marlin Klein. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Somehow Domani Jackson was still sitting there in the 202nd pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryce Foster well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
Enrique Cruz Jr. at pick 227 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the 238th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
