Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Golday: D. The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Golday tumbling to the Dolphins in pick 127 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the 27th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kayden McDonald in slot 49, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
They will replay Michael Taaffe at the 75th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
Taking Antonio Williams in pick 83 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
They barely believed it either: Gennings Dunker still on the board at No. 87. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick No. 97 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jake Golday
Somehow Jake Golday was still sitting there in slot 127, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eli Raridon at No. 138 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
Circle this one: Demond Claiborne at the 149th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick 156 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 157 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Albert Regis
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Albert Regis at Round 5, Pick 33. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Brenen Thompson
Brenen Thompson at the 227th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
