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

The Eric Gentry pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 103 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The Kilgore value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 31 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Value with a capital V on Keionte Scott in the 72nd overall pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in slot 87 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They took Bryce Lance at par in No. 92, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Devin Moore adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They paid up for Michael Trigg at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 4, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jalon Kilgore in the 125th pick leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They talked themselves into Drew Allar at No. 130, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 131 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
They did well to land Dametrious Crownover in the 151st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at slot 160 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They jumped the gun on Domani Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick167 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 167 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick171 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A slide stopped in the 171st overall pick, with Marlin Klein worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeff Caldwell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in Round 6, Pick 15 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
By-the-book stuff, Dallen Bentley at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 202 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick221 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 221 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 227th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Jatta at slot 238, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A big swing on Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Value said wait; Adam Randall in pick 254 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
