Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 36, roughly 74 spots before his name belonged.

Getting Wheatley where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Davis pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

So much rides on Emmanuel Pregnon that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at No. 45 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore at Round 3, Pick 23 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid sticker price for Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 89th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 90 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
A curious use of pick 91. Edge rusher needed the pick; a cornerback in Tacario Davis did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Perkins Jr. in the 111th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in pick 113 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the 126th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
The board had Bryce Lance higher than pick No. 131, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Isaiah World
A tidy little value on Isaiah World in No. 144, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in slot 149, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 VJ Payne
Fair-plus on VJ Payne, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick 200 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at the 227th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
No drama and no debate, Trey Zuhn III went about where he belonged in No. 247. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in pick No. 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
