Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueC

TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B+. The Keaten Wade pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 125 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and interior defensive lineman. Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 2, Pick 11 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
They let Chase Bisontis come to them and pounced at slot 79. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick80
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in the 80th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A curious use of pick 87. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Devin Moore did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in the 90th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A quiet steal in pick No. 111: Nicholas Singleton for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 112th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in Round 5, Pick 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick173
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 173rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
George Gumbs Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, George Gumbs Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at No. 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at Round 7, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at the 249th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
