Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Dolphins: C-.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 324 picks early on Blake Shapen, and the board is going to hold them to it. The final tally is a middling C-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In pick No. 11 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 43rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jaydn Ott
A real head-scratcher, Jaydn Ott in slot 75 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Aaron Graves
Value said wait; Aaron Graves in the 87th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Shapen
Blake Shapen at pick 90 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Van Dyke
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Van Dyke in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in pick 149 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at the 227th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
