Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 253rd pick lands the Dolphins a B-, Brown and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Barion Brown, slot 253, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Norfleet reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 4 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. More want than need.
Pick35 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in Round 2, Pick 3 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
They liked Xavier Chaplin enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
They barely believed it either: Cade Klubnik still on the board at the 73rd pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
They paid up for Chase Bisontis at No. 108 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
They will replay Jaishawn Barham at pick 136 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at slot 146 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A wild overpay on Brett Norfleet in the 223rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown in pick 253 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
