Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Dolphins reached some 117 spots for Keaten Wade, and value like that does not grow back.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman and linebacker went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

However the rest shakes out, Scott at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 31: Omar Cooper Jr. for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Devin Moore while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick95 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in pick 95 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at No. 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Fair-plus on Mike Washington Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 125 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in pick 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 130th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cole Payton
A wild overpay on Cole Payton in No. 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Domani Jackson in Round 5, Pick 20. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick166 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
They paid sticker price for J'Mari Taylor in the 166th pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
They went early on Charles Demmings in slot 227, and the value did not follow. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 7, Pick 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Micah Morris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Micah Morris in the 252nd pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in the 257th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
