Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Jackson Hawes a full 37 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The McCord value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 13th pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 16, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They paid up for Jordan Phillips at pick No. 98 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A conviction pick on Jamaree Caldwell at pick 116 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A reach on Jackson Slater in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Lundt well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Circle this one: Kyle McCord at the 155th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
They barely believed it either: Thomas Fidone II still on the board at the 231st pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slipping to No. 253 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
