Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Stockton is the Dolphins' new face under center. Grade: B-.

The Dolphins spent the pick that matters most on Gunner Stockton, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Shelby pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Romaine pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Gunner Stockton
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a long-term answer under center, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Braylon Staley
The board had cheaper options than Braylon Staley at slot 43, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Francis Brewu
A conviction pick on Francis Brewu at No. 75 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at the 87th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Braylan Shelby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braylan Shelby. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Austin Romaine at the 111th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jacob Ponton
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Ponton. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Malachi Coleman
Malachi Coleman at pick 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
