Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 253 on Keaten Wade a full 121 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Cooper Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Dolphins indulged a want in Scott while a need in linebacker stayed open.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in Round 2, Pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 70th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 75th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Somehow Omar Cooper Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 87, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nicholas Singleton. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Keionte Scott in No. 94 leaves linebacker for later.
Pick111 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in pick 111 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mike Washington Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They went early on Drew Allar in the 129th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
The board had DeMonte Capehart higher than slot 149, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in pick No. 154, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the 168th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in Round 5, Pick 39 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Wright at No. 215, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in the 220th pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
They reached a country mile for Anez Cooper at the 227th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kamran James
Kamran James at slot 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keaten Wade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
