Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Demmings. Final grade: B.

Somebody in pick 227 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Charles Demmings, the No. 150 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Reiger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick No. 30 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
They let Caleb Lomu come to them and pounced at No. 43. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in Round 3, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Chris Bell
Chris Bell at the 90th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Nothing to complain about; Ted Hurst went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare in pick 99 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason Reiger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the 122nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in the 130th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where DeMonte Capehart graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at Round 5, Pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at No. 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick238 Rnd7 Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at slot 238. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
