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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Oronde Gadsden II at Round 5, Pick 17, a reach of 42 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Starks steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at No. 48 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 34, where Charles Grant graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They paid sticker price for Joshua Farmer in slot 116, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Kyle McCord for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They did well to land Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 150, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oronde Gadsden II. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They went early on Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in Round 7, Pick 15 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr at No. 253 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
