Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Cooper Jr.: B. Thirty-one other rooms let Omar Cooper Jr. slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at No. 80. Highway robbery.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Every board in the league had Cooper lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 80th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Fair-plus on Julian Neal, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A surprising call. With edge rusher, running back and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 95 on Devin Moore, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick112
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Good price on Justin Joly in the 112th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 115 on Tacario Davis with edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 11 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at pick 153, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick154
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
They took Jalen Farmer at par in the 154th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jeremiah Wright
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Wright. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris slid further than he should have, and No. 227 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
They did well to land Jeff Caldwell in pick 229, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Anez Cooper
Value said wait; Anez Cooper in pick No. 252 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
