Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a A-. The Brant Kuithe selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 68 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kelvin Banks Jr. and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick No. 13 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 51 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111
Rnd4
Devin Neal
Steal is underselling it; Devin Neal at the 111th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom slipping to the 119th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Taking Tai Felton in the 135th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jordan James
The board fumbled Jordan James all the way to slot 136, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 146th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce slid further than he should have, and pick 155 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in No. 159 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick183
Rnd6
Karene Reid
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Karene Reid. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200
Rnd6
Brant Kuithe
A wild overpay on Brant Kuithe in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Nice patience on Jordan Hancock, who had no business lasting to pick No. 224. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick231
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at No. 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Circle this one: Ricky White III at the 237th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in pick No. 243, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Jabbar Muhammad for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers in the 257th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
