Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Korey Foreman at pick No. 216 is 78 spots clear of where he belonged.
Wheatley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback went begging.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in the 49th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
They read the board right and Caleb Banks was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 26. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Chris Johnson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chris Johnson in slot 75, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
They will replay Eli Stowers at No. 90 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
You do not let an offensive lineman like Caleb Tiernan reach pick 92 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malik Muhammad adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick99
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
Taking Josiah Trotter in slot 99 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Perkins Jr. in the 111th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
The board had Chase Bisontis higher than the 112th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Zakee Wheatley
The board fumbled Zakee Wheatley all the way to Round 4, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Steal is underselling it; Jaishawn Barham at pick 133 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick No. 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
They did well to land Tanner Koziol in No. 153, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Value with a capital V on Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick174
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Aaron Graves at slot 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick183
Rnd6
Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in No. 183 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick189
Rnd6
Kobe Baynes
A tidy bit of business in the 189th pick, where Kobe Baynes graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
They took Raylen Wilson at par in Round 6, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
A straight-up fair deal on Jaren Kanak at pick No. 194, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Kamran James
They reached a country mile for Kamran James at the 207th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Korey Foreman
A big swing on Korey Foreman at pick 216, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nice patience on Nolan Rucci, who had no business lasting to slot 227. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234
Rnd7
Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240
Rnd7
Micah Morris
A conviction pick on Micah Morris at No. 240 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
