Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C
ValueC-
NeedB
TradesD-
FutureB+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the C. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Kalil Alexander at No. 227, a reach of 68 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
Ponds falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
With quarterback and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.
If Omar Cooper Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Derrick Moore
Value said wait; Derrick Moore in Round 2, Pick 11 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
They talked themselves into Elijah Sarratt at the 49th pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
The board fumbled D'Angelo Ponds all the way to No. 75, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77
Rnd3
Caden Curry
They reached a country mile for Caden Curry at pick No. 77, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
They reached into another round for Michael Trigg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jalon Kilgore
A curious use of slot 90. Quarterback and linebacker needed the pick; a cornerback in Jalon Kilgore did not.
Pick97
Rnd3
Kaleb Proctor
A big swing on Kaleb Proctor at No. 97, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Farmer. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at pick No. 130 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.
Pick151
Rnd5
Charles Demmings
They took Charles Demmings at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227
Rnd7
Kalil Alexander
A wild overpay on Kalil Alexander in Round 7, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Deven Eastern
Deven Eastern at the 229th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238
Rnd7
Adam Randall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Adam Randall in pick 238, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
