Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C
ValueF
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureC+
Carr is the Dolphins' new face under center. Grade: C. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jaden Greathouse at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 355 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The Swain pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Everything downstream of CJ Carr depends on CJ Carr, and the building knows it. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
It is not that McKinney is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Leonard Moore
No edge and no loss on Leonard Moore in pick 3; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick4
Rnd1
Tae Johnson
In slot 4 they get an enforcer at safety, a steep price for the projection.
Pick6
Rnd1
CJ Carr
In No. 6 they get a franchise quarterback, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick10
Rnd1
Jordan Faison
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
In pick No. 16 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick18
Rnd1
Boubacar Traore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Boubacar Traore in the 18th overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick28
Rnd1
Drayk Bowen
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drayk Bowen this early at the 28th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick34
Rnd2
Francis Brewu
They reached into another round for Francis Brewu, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick35
Rnd2
Anthonie Knapp
A wild overpay on Anthonie Knapp in pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick37
Rnd2
Jayden Jackson
A real head-scratcher, Jayden Jackson in slot 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick50
Rnd2
DJ McKinney
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, DJ McKinney adds a cornerback and leaves tight end and running back untouched.
Pick66
Rnd3
Adon Shuler
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Adon Shuler in pick No. 66 leaves tight end and running back for later.
Pick67
Rnd3
Christian Gray
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 67th pick on Christian Gray with tight end and running back unsolved.
Pick68
Rnd3
AJ Green
They reached a country mile for AJ Green at Round 3, Pick 4, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Bryce Young
Bryce Young in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104
Rnd4
Paki Finau
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Paki Finau. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Leighton Jones
A big swing on Leighton Jones at pick 105, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Guerby Lambert
Guerby Lambert at slot 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Ethan Fields
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ethan Fields well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
London Humphreys
London Humphreys in pick No. 120 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124
Rnd4
Andrew Sprague
Andrew Sprague at No. 124 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129
Rnd4
Drew Bobo
Value said wait; Drew Bobo in the 129th pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141
Rnd5
Sullivan Absher
Sullivan Absher at the 141st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142
Rnd5
Mike Matthews
A slide stopped in pick 142, with Mike Matthews worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Cody Sigler
Cody Sigler at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Vicari Swain
Vicari Swain in slot 146 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick157
Rnd5
Ivan Carreon
They talked themselves into Ivan Carreon at No. 157, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166
Rnd5
Micah Gilbert
They left a pile of value on the table to take Micah Gilbert this early at Round 5, Pick 27. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181
Rnd6
Eddrick Houston
Eddrick Houston in pick No. 181 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182
Rnd6
Kam Franklin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kam Franklin in the 182nd pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185
Rnd6
Da'Shawn Womack
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Da'Shawn Womack. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Loghan Thomas
They talked themselves into Loghan Thomas at the 202nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jaden Greathouse
They reached into another round for Jaden Greathouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick228
Rnd7
Rustin Young
They reached a country mile for Rustin Young at pick 228, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tree Babalade
A real head-scratcher, Tree Babalade in the 239th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Joe Otting
Value said wait; Joe Otting in No. 243 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Austin Kawecki
Austin Kawecki at Round 7, Pick 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
