Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Nobody else had Brady Cook anywhere near the 151st pick. The Dolphins did, by 126 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Bassa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Adding Tyler Guyton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than Round 2, Pick 16, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in No. 98, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
No edge and no loss on Joshua Farmer in slot 115; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in the 121st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A tidy little value on Darius Alexander in the 135th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Brady Cook
They talked themselves into Brady Cook at pick 151, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Good price on Nick Nash in pick No. 156, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jeffrey Bassa
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fentrell Cypress II this early at No. 233. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick252 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
