Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Cade Klubnik at Round 3, Pick 30 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Muhammad at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In the 30th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
They paid up for Malachi Lawrence at pick No. 43 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
A big swing on Drew Shelton at No. 75, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Genesis Smith this early at slot 87. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sam Roush
By-the-book stuff, Sam Roush at Round 3, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at the 94th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Taking Malik Muhammad in the 130th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A slide stopped in pick 151, with DeMonte Capehart worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in Round 7, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at No. 238 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
