Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Milroe from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jalen Milroe at the 135th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick29 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Value with a capital V on Walter Nolen in pick No. 29, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 80 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at Round 4, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They will replay Jalen Milroe at the 135th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
The board fumbled Hollin Pierce all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 156 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in the 226th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Circle this one: Ricky White III at pick No. 233 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jake Briningstool in the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
