Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Taylen Green in No. 131.

Getting Klein where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Dolphins indulged a want in Jackson while a need in edge rusher stayed open. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 60 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 63rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They let Zachariah Branch come to them and pounced at pick No. 75. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They paid sticker price for Devin Moore in Round 3, Pick 16, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 87th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at No. 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Justin Joly
They liked Justin Joly enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 92. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaiah World well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A tidy little value on Michael Trigg in the 125th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A want over a need in pick 126: Domani Jackson adds a cornerback while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick127 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They reached into another round for Drew Allar, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Taylen Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taylen Green. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
They paid up for Ted Hurst at the 149th pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at No. 166 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Roush at slot 171 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the 200th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
By-the-book stuff, Jimmy Rolder at pick 220 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson in pick No. 227 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick228 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
