Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: B+.

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

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. World has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Davis while a need in edge rusher and linebacker stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No edge and no loss on Emmanuel Pregnon in the 38th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick43 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christen Miller at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick59 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They paid sticker price for Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 59, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in Round 2, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zachariah Branch in slot 75. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Nothing to complain about; Devin Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in the 90th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 94, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 8: Tacario Davis adds a cornerback while edge rusher and linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They read the board right and Michael Trigg was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at slot 113 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in the 149th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the 168th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Fair-plus on Jeff Caldwell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in pick 244; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper in No. 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
