Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B+ to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Eric Gentry at the 202nd pick is 150 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Landing Lance that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 20th pick they get a security blanket over the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Nice patience on Jake Slaughter, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A reach for Ted Hurst in pick No. 75; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at the 90th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
A real head-scratcher, Michael Trigg in pick 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Devin Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Devin Moore, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in the 130th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
No edge and no loss on Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A big swing on Taylen Green at No. 152, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 201 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 John Michael Gyllenborg
They paid a round early for John Michael Gyllenborg in pick 212, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at slot 227 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in the 236th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Micah Morris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Micah Morris. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
