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

There is reaching, and then there is Eric Gentry at slot 227. The Dolphins jumped the board by 125 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On value alone, Scott makes the weekend a net positive. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Jeremiyah Love graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
A quiet steal in No. 30: Sonny Styles for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
The board had cheaper options than Gabe Jacas at slot 43, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick 75 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A curious use of pick No. 87. Wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Devin Moore did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Treydan Stukes, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Llewellyn
Max Llewellyn at pick No. 94 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Taylen Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taylen Green. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in slot 227, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
Enrique Cruz Jr. at Round 7, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
