Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Cade Klubnik in the 90th pick, a good 37 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In slot 11 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slipping to pick 43 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cade Klubnik. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at the 111th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A quiet steal in the 149th pick: DeMonte Capehart for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A slide stopped in the 227th overall pick, with Zavion Thomas worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
