Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and McDonald: B-.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kayden McDonald, the No. 22 name on the board, in slot 90. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Brown reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick72 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to the 72nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 87th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kayden McDonald
Somehow Kayden McDonald was still sitting there in pick No. 90, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in slot 106, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Markel Bell
A slide stopped in No. 111, with Markel Bell worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
The board had Tacario Davis higher than Round 4, Pick 25, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at pick 169 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Lander Barton at slot 187. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Barion Brown
A reach on Barion Brown in pick No. 200; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in pick 227, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick228 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Nothing to complain about; Fernando Carmona went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
