Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureD-
The Dolphins bet the future on Manning. The board says B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Arch Manning is the Dolphins' quarterback, full stop.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Johnson. They will need Absher to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
They took Jadan Baugh at par in the 36th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Anthony Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Anthony Smith. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 103 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Earl Little Jr. in pick No. 139. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kam Robinson
Good price on Kam Robinson in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
They talked themselves into Earnest Greene III at No. 184, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jaden Platt
Jaden Platt in the 246th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Sullivan Absher
Sullivan Absher in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
