Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesC+
FutureA-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it. The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 11 on Keaten Wade a full 147 spots early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
On value alone, Hunter makes the weekend a net positive. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
Kadyn Proctor in No. 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
They read the board right and Emmanuel Pregnon was the payoff at pick 49. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 76th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Devin Moore in slot 87. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
They barely believed it either: Lee Hunter still on the board at the 90th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in pick No. 135, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar slid further than he should have, and the 155th overall pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
They jumped the gun on Ted Hurst, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jeff Caldwell. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212
Rnd6
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221
Rnd7
Kamran James
Kamran James in pick 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in No. 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
