Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Micah Morris, 77 picks ahead of schedule.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Cooper Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
No edge and no loss on Max Iheanachor in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 63: Omar Cooper Jr. for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
A tidy little value on Chase Bisontis in No. 75, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Markel Bell
They paid up for Markel Bell at the 89th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in slot 90; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
A conviction pick on Michael Trigg at Round 3, Pick 27 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Justin Joly
A reach for Justin Joly in pick No. 95; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at pick 109 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
The board had cheaper options than Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
They took Eli Raridon at par in slot 129, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in the 153rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They paid sticker price for Marlin Klein in No. 167, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 227th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in Round 7, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Value said wait; Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 229 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Micah Morris this early at the Round 7 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
