Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C.

Some picks age like wine; Dayon Hayes at pick 224 will need to, sitting 89 spots clear of his grade. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

They have staked the next five years on Jalen Milroe, which is the only story that really matters here. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

So much rides on Jalen Milroe that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick No. 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 48th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at No. 98, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Value said wait; Sai'vion Jones in Round 4, Pick 14 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Baron this early at slot 135. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at the 150th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A wild overpay on Jack Kiser in slot 155, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
A big swing on Dayon Hayes at No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Nothing to complain about; Carson Vinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Traeshon Holden
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Traeshon Holden well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
