Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Eric Gentry, 114 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B.

However the rest shakes out, Haulcy at that price is a win they earned. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Christian Darrisaw gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 18th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Emmanuel Pregnon
In pick No. 30 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
They took Max Iheanachor at par in slot 45, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Markel Bell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Markel Bell in the Round 2 slot, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in the 87th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in the 90th pick 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.
Pick94 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 94, where Elijah Sarratt graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to slot 97, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Raridon at the 131st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in No. 151. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in pick 227 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 22 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
