Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Shuler from sliding. Grade: A.

You build a draft on nights like this. Adon Shuler had no business being available in pick 227, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In the 27th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick50 Rnd2 David Stone
Taking David Stone in No. 50 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick56 Rnd2 Yhonzae Pierre
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Yhonzae Pierre in slot 56. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ryan Wingo
The board fumbled Ryan Wingo all the way to pick No. 75, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Raleek Brown
The board had Raleek Brown higher than pick 87, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Rasheem Biles
You do not let a linebacker like Rasheem Biles reach the 90th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Luke Montgomery
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Montgomery at Round 3, Pick 28 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dylan Raiola
Dylan Raiola at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson in the 124th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Brody Foley
Brody Foley in the 133rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Taylor Wein
Taylor Wein in Round 5, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick222 Rnd7 Avery Johnson
They barely believed it either: Avery Johnson still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Adon Shuler
Adon Shuler at pick No. 227 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
