Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueD+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent the 79th pick on Taylen Green, a name most had 106 spots down the list.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Golday steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Spending an early pick on cornerback with linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 43rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79
Rnd3
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
They barely believed it either: Eli Stowers still on the board at the 87th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to No. 90, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Devin Moore adds a cornerback and leaves linebacker untouched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in Round 3, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Justin Joly in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
No edge and no loss on Michael Trigg in pick 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They jumped the gun on Dametrious Crownover, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at No. 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick150
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the 150th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
A big swing on Patrick Payton at pick No. 194, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Charles Jagusah
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Jagusah at the 195th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at pick No. 215 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 221st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Jatta a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
