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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Eric Gentry in slot 257. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Slaughter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. is a better player than No. 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Malachi Lawrence
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Lawrence a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dani Dennis-Sutton this early at pick 49. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at slot 75 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
They paid up for Ted Hurst at the 77th pick when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at pick 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah World in No. 126 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Travis Burke
Travis Burke at the 151st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jeff Caldwell at the 163rd pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
By-the-book stuff, Tanner Koziol at slot 168 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 182 with a little surplus value in Domani Jackson. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
No edge and no loss on Ephesians Prysock in Round 6, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
A conviction pick on Jaren Kanak at Round 7, Pick 11 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
No drama and no debate, Robert Spears-Jennings went about where he belonged in pick 238. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick246 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick No. 246 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in No. 256 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They reached into another round for Eric Gentry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
