Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at the 224th pick, a reach of 64 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 48 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They let Tyler Booker come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
They took Cameron Williams at par in slot 66, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in Round 3, Pick 25 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to pick No. 97, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 98th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They did well to land Joshua Farmer in the 116th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at pick 135, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slid further than he should have, and slot 150 is lovely value for the quarterback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid sticker price for Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 155, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at No. 189 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 231st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick232 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in slot 232 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyren Lacy this early at No. 253. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
