Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

There is reaching, and then there is Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 22. The Dolphins jumped the board by 114 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The McNeil-Warren pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick43 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs in the 43rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
You do not let a cornerback like Keionte Scott reach No. 79 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to Round 3, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in slot 92 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Nothing to complain about; Sam Hecht went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Good price on Michael Trigg in the 122nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 130th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They paid sticker price for Drew Allar in pick No. 151, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They talked themselves into Taylen Green at pick 152, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at Round 5, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Somehow Jeff Caldwell was still sitting there in slot 220, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
A reach for Isaiah Jatta in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 238th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
