Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Tuten fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Bhayshul Tuten, the No. 151 name on the board, stolen at slot 224. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Ratledge reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
They paid sticker price for Josh Simmons in Round 1, Pick 13, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at No. 48 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Will Howard at pick No. 98, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A tidy bit of business in the 135th overall pick, where Jeffrey Bassa graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 150th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
No edge and no loss on Jake Briningstool in slot 155; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They paid up for Brandon Adams at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A slide stopped in the 253rd overall pick, with Ty Hamilton worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
They paid a round early for Kai Kroeger in pick No. 256, more than the board wanted. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
