Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Taylen Green at the 131st overall pick regardless, 54 picks early.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 30 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Fair-plus on Omar Cooper Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 74th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore at No. 75 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Tacario Davis, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
A conviction pick on Michael Trigg at pick 91 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Justin Joly
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Joly at slot 109, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A big swing on Isaiah World at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They paid a round early for Drew Allar in pick No. 130, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in Round 4, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 146th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A tidy little value on DeMonte Capehart in No. 149, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
They liked J'Mari Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in the 161st overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein in the 166th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zxavian Harris at No. 227 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
