Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B.

Some picks age like wine; Eric Gentry at pick No. 256 will need to, sitting 96 spots clear of his grade.

On value alone, Pregnon makes the weekend a net positive. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 18 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel Pregnon still on the board at No. 69. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Zachariah Branch worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 90: Mike Washington Jr. for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 91st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
No edge and no loss on Devin Moore in pick No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jalen Farmer
They jumped the gun on Jalen Farmer, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in pick No. 106 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Justin Joly in slot 130. 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.
Pick165 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick182 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick 182 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A straight-up fair deal on Jeff Caldwell at the 189th pick, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in the 196th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the 221st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the 226th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
Enrique Cruz Jr. in slot 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Mahlman this early at pick No. 246. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at No. 256 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Micah Morris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Micah Morris. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
