Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 130 picks early on Roman Hemby, and the board is going to hold them to it. Put together, it is a D+.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Landing Klare that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the 11th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
A reach for Max Iheanachor in slot 49; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Max Klare
They robbed the room for Max Klare here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They will replay Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 82 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick No. 87 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They talked themselves into Caden Curry at the 90th pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Billy Schrauth
A real head-scratcher, Billy Schrauth in pick No. 97 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
The board fumbled Zakee Wheatley all the way to Round 4, Pick 5, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in slot 111 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick143 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at No. 143 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
The board had cheaper options than Aamil Wagner at the 149th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A premium they did not need to pay, Pat Coogan a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roman Hemby well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
