Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B+.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Marcus Yarns, 39 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. The Burke pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 52nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in pick 98, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Denzel Burke in the Round 4 slot leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick129 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 129 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach slot 135 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Gabriel at Round 5, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns in pick No. 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at slot 234 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
