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

Some picks age like wine; Zxavian Harris at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A tidy little value on Omar Cooper Jr. in the 60th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick69 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keionte Scott in slot 69. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 11 on Devin Moore with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Nice patience on Zakee Wheatley, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sam Hecht at No. 96. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Nothing to complain about; Michael Trigg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
No edge and no loss on Eli Raridon in Round 4, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A want over a need in the 128th pick: Bud Clark adds a safety while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick129 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They paid sticker price for Dametrious Crownover in the 129th overall pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick No. 149 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in No. 154. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick165 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A conviction pick on Ted Hurst at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They reached a country mile for Zxavian Harris at pick 187, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jeff Caldwell. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at slot 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They paid up for Eli Heidenreich at pick 226 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 11, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A real head-scratcher, Nolan Rucci in the 239th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
