Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

Nobody else had Joshua Braun anywhere near the 227th pick. The Dolphins did, by 55 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

On value alone, McNeil-Warren makes the weekend a net positive. The Dolphins indulged a want in Moore while a need in quarterback stayed open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Derrick Moore a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dani Dennis-Sutton well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Somehow Caleb Banks was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
They read the board right and Mike Washington Jr. was the payoff at the 87th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jacob Rodriguez in pick 90, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Nothing to complain about; Ted Hurst went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A curious use of pick No. 94. Quarterback needed the pick; a cornerback in Devin Moore did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at No. 97 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A want over a need in slot 120: Treydan Stukes adds a cornerback while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Jalon Kilgore, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joe Royer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joe Royer in the 130th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Zxavian Harris at the 151st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Demond Claiborne. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick 160 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They let Ar'maj Reed-Adams come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 37. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in the 221st pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A wild overpay on Joshua Braun in No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
Enrique Cruz Jr. at the 238th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
