Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Higgins. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jay Higgins at slot 225 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They are betting Rogers proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 14 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malachi Moore at safety with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick99 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 99th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach Round 4, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 150 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
By-the-book stuff, Jaeden Roberts at slot 158 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 225th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 232nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick251 Rnd7 Will Rogers
They reached a country mile for Will Rogers at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
