Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Brooks fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tahj Brooks, the No. 116 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 36.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Turner proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at pick 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at the 98th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to No. 114, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 149th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick No. 224 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 7, Pick 15 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They barely believed it either: Tahj Brooks still on the board at slot 252. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
