Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Martinez fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Damien Martinez, the No. 148 name on the board, sitting there at the 226th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Gadsden II reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 13th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick 48 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jackson in No. 98. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 4, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Value with a capital V on Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 135, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 151st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
They robbed the room for Damien Martinez here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They barely believed it either: Jamon Dumas-Johnson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 15. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Cam Jackson in pick No. 252, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
