Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: A-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Micah Morris a full 85 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker still on the board.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 40. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
The board had cheaper options than Gabe Jacas at pick 43, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at No. 62 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They read the board right and Keionte Scott was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 11. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
The board fumbled Ted Hurst all the way to pick No. 108, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Devin Moore
A surprising call. With linebacker still to address, they spent pick 113 on Devin Moore, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jalon Kilgore while clear needs at linebacker sat open.
Pick151 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon is a better player than pick No. 151 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They took Zxavian Harris at par in the 155th pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Drew Allar
By-the-book stuff, Drew Allar at slot 156 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at Round 5, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They robbed the room for Jeff Caldwell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaiah Jatta well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Enrique Cruz Jr. this early at No. 220. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick No. 223 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in Round 7, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at slot 238 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
