Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Dolphins bet the future on Ewers. The board says B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Gee Scott Jr. at slot 232, roughly 295 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Quinn Ewers is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

They banked enough surplus on McCullough to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Quinn Ewers
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Good price on Tyler Booker in slot 45, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 David Bailey
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on David Bailey. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Theo Wease Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Wease Jr. this early at the 99th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 114 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A reach for Logan Brown in pick 151; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Nothing to complain about; Cobee Bryant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
A tidy bit of business in slot 209, where Dasan McCullough graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick211 Rnd6 Gabe Jacas
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Jacas a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tyreak Sapp
Tyreak Sapp at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Gee Scott Jr.
Gee Scott Jr. at the 232nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
A real head-scratcher, Aaron Lewis in pick No. 249 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
