Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Golday: C+.

The phones were a trap the Dolphins kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Golday pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Max Klare that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick75 Rnd3 Max Klare
They will replay Max Klare at the 75th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller slipping to No. 78 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at slot 87 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at pick No. 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 111th pick, where Harold Perkins Jr. graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
They paid sticker price for Eli Raridon in pick 126, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
No drama and no debate, Tanner Koziol went about where he belonged in the 149th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick 154 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nothing to complain about; Nadame Tucker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in Round 5, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
They let Antonio Kite come to them and pounced at No. 210. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick214 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick No. 214 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 220th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in slot 227 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 London Humphreys
London Humphreys at the 239th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in the 241st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
