Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Dolphins drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: F.

Nobody else had Trey Knox anywhere near the 186th overall pick. The Dolphins did, by 49 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Tampa while a need in running back stayed open. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with running back still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In No. 7 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick19 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 19 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Good price on Junior Colson in the 55th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick64 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, T.J. Tampa adds a cornerback and leaves running back untouched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Lynn Polk at the 83rd overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A reach on Zak Zinter in pick 93; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Malik Washington
No edge and no loss on Malik Washington in the 95th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the 100th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board had Justin Eboigbe higher than pick No. 157, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 200 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in slot 239, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
