Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Keaten Wade at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 145 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Davis pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman still on the board. That Caldwell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 69 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Nice patience on Keionte Scott, who had no business lasting to the 75th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tacario Davis adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in the 106th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They liked Harold Perkins Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 110. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A big swing on Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 113, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beau Stephens. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drew Allar this early at the 125th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at Round 5, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197 Rnd6 VJ Payne
A reasonable price with a little left over, VJ Payne in pick No. 197. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marvin Jones Jr. in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
They reached a country mile for Keaten Wade at the 229th pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A reach for Bryce Foster in No. 239; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris in slot 241 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 243rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in Round 7, Pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in pick 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at No. 251 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Braun in pick No. 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
