Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins bet the future on Simpson. The board says C+.

The Hank Brown selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 270 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The Sabb pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Ty Simpson is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In the 15th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Roderick Kearney
A real head-scratcher, Roderick Kearney in pick No. 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Shamar Easter
A wild overpay on Shamar Easter in slot 46, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho at the 66th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Conner Weigman
They talked themselves into Conner Weigman at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaquaize Pettaway
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaquaize Pettaway well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaydn Ott in pick No. 146, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd5 Hank Brown
Value said wait; Hank Brown in Round 5, Pick 42 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
