Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Keaten Wade, 120 picks ahead of schedule.

On value alone, Branch makes the weekend a net positive. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

Hit on Emmanuel Pregnon and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They did well to land Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 43, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick No. 75 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Zachariah Branch in No. 93, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in Round 3, Pick 31 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick96 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 96th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
They robbed the room for Treydan Stukes here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at the 122nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They liked Dametrious Crownover enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 126. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at No. 129 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at slot 130 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They took Zxavian Harris at par in pick No. 147, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Allar. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Taylen Green
No drama and no debate, Taylen Green went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 188th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Foster. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They reached a country mile for Robert Spears-Jennings at pick No. 229, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
No edge and no loss on Jalen Huskey in No. 241; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Adam Randall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Adam Randall in the 246th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
They reached into another round for Keaten Wade, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kamran James
A wild overpay on Kamran James in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Value said wait; Noah Thomas in the 254th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Enrique Cruz Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Enrique Cruz Jr. in Round 7, Pick 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A big swing on Joshua Braun at the 257th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
