Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Dolphins fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The Moore pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
The board had Caleb Tiernan higher than slot 62, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott is a better player than Round 3, Pick 10 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 75 on Devin Moore with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They liked Nicholas Singleton enough to skip the value, taking him in the 87th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at pick No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
They paid up for Michael Trigg at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in the 109th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
The board had cheaper options than Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A clean, defensible pick in pick 149 with a little surplus value in Drew Allar. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A premium they did not need to pay, Marlin Klein a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeff Caldwell in the 227th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
A tidy little value on Raylen Wilson in slot 228, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
A tidy bit of business in No. 230, where Zxavian Harris graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They let Cole Payton come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 31. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
