Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesD+ FutureD+
A weekend the Dolphins will want back. Grade: D.

Some picks age like wine; Nick Martin at the 117th pick will need to, sitting 163 spots clear of his grade. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

With edge rusher and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on specialist is the choice that costs them. The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In the 13th pick they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at the 48th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Gabriel
A real head-scratcher, Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 60 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at slot 116 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at No. 117 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 33: Andres Borregales adds a specialist while edge rusher and running back keeps waiting.
Pick150 Rnd5 LaJohntay Wester
A big swing on LaJohntay Wester at pick No. 150, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zeek Biggers
Value said wait; Zeek Biggers in the 155th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in slot 201 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They paid sticker price for Akili Arnold in pick 224, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
