Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Dolphins were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will need Foster to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, with Kadyn Proctor leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 60 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 11 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 89th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Trigg at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Nothing to complain about; Justin Joly went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 126th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Mike Washington Jr. at No. 130 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A tidy little value on Drew Allar in the 150th pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 165th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Fair-plus on Ephesians Prysock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in slot 226 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
