Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB+
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Anez Cooper, 44 picks early at the 227th overall pick.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher and running back went begging.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 28th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at Round 2, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
They paid sticker price for Keionte Scott in pick 59, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in pick No. 63 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and running back to take Devin Moore, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Justin Joly
They paid up for Justin Joly at No. 90 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at slot 111 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They reached a country mile for Dametrious Crownover at the 116th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Drew Allar
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Allar. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 150 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 6, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 193rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in pick 215 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at the 227th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A premium they did not need to pay, Bryce Foster a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
