Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Roman Hemby at Round 7, Pick 22 is 118 spots clear of where he belonged.

Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Scott pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 26 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in slot 33 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at Round 3, Pick 11 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Max Klare
They read the board right and Max Klare was the payoff at pick No. 87. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the 89th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 90th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bud Clark
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent the 91st overall pick on Bud Clark, a safety they were not short of.
Pick111 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Davison Igbinosun did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth at slot 112 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
By-the-book stuff, CJ Daniels at pick No. 129 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
They paid sticker price for Jalen Farmer in the 151st pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aamil Wagner. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Pat Coogan. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Aiden Fisher
They talked themselves into Aiden Fisher at pick 208, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
The board had Kaelon Black higher than Round 7, Pick 5, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick225 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Value said wait; Riley Nowakowski in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 227th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at pick No. 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
