Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in pick 221, a good 132 spots before the room expected him.

The Golday pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Moore while a need in running back stayed open.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In No. 30 they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick72 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Value with a capital V on Keionte Scott in pick No. 72, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Rodriguez in the 89th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Circle this one: Jake Golday at slot 92 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Devin Moore in pick 94 leaves running back for later.
Pick107 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 4, Pick 7. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Trigg in slot 111. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A tidy bit of business in pick 112, where Bud Clark graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Harold Perkins Jr. at the 126th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A reach on Dametrious Crownover in No. 130; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in pick No. 151 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 163rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
They paid up for Eli Heidenreich at the 214th pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in pick 221, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. in No. 227 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
Owen Heinecke at slot 238 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick239 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick240 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
A tidy little value on Isaiah Jatta in the 240th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
No edge and no loss on Bryce Foster in Round 7, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A straight-up fair deal on Nolan Rucci at pick No. 245, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in No. 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A premium they did not need to pay, Tristan Leigh a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A conviction pick on Daevin Hobbs at the 249th overall pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in the 251st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
Korey Foreman at slot 252 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A big swing on Joshua Braun at Round 7, Pick 40, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A wild overpay on Riley Mahlman in pick No. 257, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
