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

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Troy Omeire went at pick 242, a good 32 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harrison Jr.. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In slot 21 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at No. 53 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Good price on Braelon Allen in pick No. 158, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Jefferson in pick 199, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
A big swing on Troy Omeire at Round 7, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
