Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Bell from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Skyler Bell had no business being available in No. 141, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In slot 28 they get a potential shutdown corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Taking Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 53 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They barely believed it either: Emmanuel Pregnon still on the board at the 59th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chris Bell
Chris Bell at Round 3, Pick 11 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Anthony Hill Jr. reach No. 78 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
Circle this one: Caleb Banks at pick 85 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the 90th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick95 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in Round 3, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Somehow Elijah Sarratt was still sitting there in the 99th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A clean, defensible pick in pick 125 with a little surplus value in Jack Endries. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at slot 130 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Skyler Bell
They will replay Skyler Bell at the 141st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at pick No. 151 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kaytron Allen
A quiet steal in No. 161: Kaytron Allen for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They did well to land Taylen Green in pick 191, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Domani Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 227 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
