Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Taylen Green, 79 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harris.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In No. 30 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijah Sarratt well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
A reach on Skyler Bell in the 77th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jalon Kilgore. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They paid up for Michael Trigg at pick 108 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Value said wait; Taylen Green in No. 112 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at slot 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in pick No. 147 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick151 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take J'Mari Taylor this early at the 151st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
No edge and no loss on Jaeden Roberts in pick 152; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Louis Moore
They liked Louis Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in the 155th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
They reached into another round for Ephesians Prysock, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They let Zxavian Harris come to them and pounced at pick 170. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at the 215th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
A real head-scratcher, Deven Eastern in pick No. 227 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at No. 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
