Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Taylen Green at slot 149 regardless, 36 picks early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Getting Huskey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Dani Dennis-Sutton at slot 49 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 75, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
No drama and no debate, Emmett Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 87. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They liked Caden Curry enough to skip the value, taking him in the 90th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They took Jaeden Roberts at par in pick No. 111, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at No. 149 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at pick No. 227 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey slipping to pick 234 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
