Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Stowers from sliding. Grade: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Dolphins fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stowers.

The Foster pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The J.J. McCarthy deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 47th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 26 with a little surplus value in Devin Moore. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They jumped the gun on Bud Clark, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No edge and no loss on Mike Washington Jr. in the 129th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Isaiah World in slot 131 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at the 163rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at the 177th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in No. 215 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Nothing to complain about; Jeff Caldwell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in pick 239 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
