Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in pick 249, a good 106 spots before the room expected him. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Rodriguez steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 31st pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Fair-plus on Emmanuel Pregnon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ted Hurst
They reached into another round for Ted Hurst, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Somehow Jacob Rodriguez was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in slot 87, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 90 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Taking Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick94 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Connor Lew at the 94th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A clean, defensible pick in No. 97 with a little surplus value in Zakee Wheatley. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They robbed the room for Sam Roush here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at slot 151 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152 Rnd5 Travis Burke
A real head-scratcher, Travis Burke in pick 152 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 30, where Drew Allar graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in pick 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick180 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at pick No. 180, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in the 212th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in slot 218 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 227 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick238 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg in the 238th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick No. 246 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick249 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at the 249th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at No. 250 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick251 Rnd7 Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Latrell McCutchin Sr. in pick 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller at the 252nd pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly in slot 253 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Value said wait; Micah Morris in Round 7, Pick 38 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A wild overpay on Shamar Easter in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Adam Randall this early at pick 257. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
