Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Eric Gentry at the 252nd pick, a reach of 101 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Stukes at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Stukes pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board.

Bottom line, with Kenyon Sadiq leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 31 they get a seam-stretching tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Good price on Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in Round 3, Pick 10 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 77 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 87th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
The board had cheaper options than Ja'Kobi Lane at the 90th overall pick, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Edge rusher needed the pick; a cornerback in Treydan Stukes did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at pick No. 160 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in slot 163 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at pick 169, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at No. 227 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
They paid sticker price for Owen Heinecke in the 229th pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They reached into another round for Adam Randall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Jatta went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 18. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A conviction pick on Nolan Rucci at pick No. 238 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They paid a round early for Robert Spears-Jennings in pick 246, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick251 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the 251st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at No. 255 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
A wild overpay on Enrique Cruz Jr. in slot 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at slot 257, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
