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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cooper Barkate, the 216th overall pick, roughly 96 picks past where he belonged. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Trey'Dez Green in pick No. 52 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61 Rnd2 Trevor Lauck
Trevor Lauck is a better player than No. 61 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Justin Scott
They robbed the room for Justin Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Bryant Wesco Jr.
They will replay Bryant Wesco Jr. at Round 3, Pick 23 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Raleek Brown
Raleek Brown at pick 90 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dylan Raiola
Dylan Raiola in slot 111 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Myles Graham
Myles Graham in the 154th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 29 with a little surplus value in Drew Bobo. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cooper Barkate
Somehow Cooper Barkate was still sitting there in pick No. 216, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks in No. 227 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Mario Landino
Mario Landino at the 254th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
