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

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Dolphins came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Dolphins indulged a want in Davis while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

The Harris pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Davis at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In the end it comes back to Sonny Styles, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 18th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They let Anthony Hill Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keionte Scott in Round 3, Pick 11. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 87; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
They read the board right and Michael Trigg was the payoff at slot 111. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at No. 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in the 115th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tacario Davis at cornerback with edge rusher open.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They did well to land Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in the 150th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick158 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Value with a capital V on Ted Hurst in pick No. 187, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 197th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Good price on Jeff Caldwell in slot 227, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They paid sticker price for Bryce Foster in No. 249, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper in slot 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
