Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 41 picks early on Jaishawn Barham, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Ponds pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Ponds while a need in quarterback, tight end and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get an island corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 43 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent No. 75 on D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
They reached a country mile for Jaishawn Barham at pick No. 87, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in Round 3, Pick 26 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Michael Taaffe in the 92nd pick leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at slot 94 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
They paid sticker price for Kaleb Proctor in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at Round 5, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in pick No. 227 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen is a better player than pick 238 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
