Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+

NeedB-
TradesA
FutureA+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Dolphins did not so much draft Nadame Tucker as overpay for him, 60 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Caldwell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick 12 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick87
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the 87th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
A conviction pick on Michael Trigg at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malachi Lawrence
They reached into another round for Malachi Lawrence, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
A wild overpay on Nadame Tucker in slot 108, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Justin Joly
They paid sticker price for Justin Joly in No. 111, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Good price on Jalon Kilgore in the 120th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick130
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
A quiet steal in slot 130: Parker Brailsford for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at pick No. 149 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157
Rnd5
Louis Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Louis Moore. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick 168 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd5
Sawyer Robertson
A real head-scratcher, Sawyer Robertson in Round 5, Pick 34 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zxavian Harris well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Nick Barrett
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Barrett in the 221st overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher in the 227th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
They barely believed it either: Jeff Caldwell still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
