Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins let Parker II fall into their laps, and walked away with a C+.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Brian Parker II, the No. 71 name on the board, in pick 116.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

So much rides on Kayden McDonald that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at the 43rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Taking Keith Abney II in Round 3, Pick 11 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Steal is underselling it; Jake Golday at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 90 with a little surplus value in Carson Beck. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They let Chase Bisontis come to them and pounced at slot 111. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
They will replay Brian Parker II at the 116th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
They robbed the room for Bishop Fitzgerald here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cyrus Allen
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 153 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in the 158th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They barely believed it either: Kage Casey still on the board at slot 169. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Trey Moore
No edge and no loss on Trey Moore in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at No. 227 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 David Gusta
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like David Gusta reach the 229th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andre Fuller in pick 236. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
