Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Zakhari Franklin at the 253rd pick. The Dolphins jumped the board by 131 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 13th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 48th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick 116 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 CJ West
They reached into another round for CJ West, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Caleb Ransaw
They talked themselves into Caleb Ransaw at Round 5, Pick 12, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 155 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 8 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Desmond Watson at No. 231, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Value said wait; Zakhari Franklin in pick No. 253 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
