Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA-
The Dolphins let Cooper Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

When a board-topper like Omar Cooper Jr. slides to pick 75, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots went begging.

The cost of the Brazzell II reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In slot 11 they get a matchup problem out wide, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They will replay Omar Cooper Jr. at Round 3, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore slipping to pick 91 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Daylen Everette adds a cornerback and leaves edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 96th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Michael Trigg at the 111th overall pick is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in pick No. 125 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in pick No. 149; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
They liked Ted Hurst enough to skip the value, taking him in the 166th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They paid sticker price for Marlin Klein in pick 168, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They paid a round early for Zxavian Harris in Round 6, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Nothing to complain about; Jeff Caldwell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cole Payton
A quiet steal in the 247th overall pick: Cole Payton for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
