Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Skattebo: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, pick 155, roughly 56 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Strong pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 13th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 16 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 98th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A want over a need in pick 116: Cobee Bryant adds a cornerback while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andres Borregales at specialist with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
They barely believed it either: Xavier Restrepo still on the board at slot 150. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in No. 155, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Akili Arnold in pick No. 231. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They will replay Bilhal Kone at No. 253 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
