Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: B+.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Keaten Wade a full 147 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Davis falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 28th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick49 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 49 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Value with a capital V on Caleb Tiernan in No. 63, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick84 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
No drama and no debate, Nicholas Singleton went about where he belonged in slot 94. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Trigg in pick No. 106. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis slipping to pick 115 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in pick No. 120, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
No edge and no loss on Eli Raridon in the 125th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A premium they did not need to pay, Dametrious Crownover a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
A conviction pick on Beau Stephens at Round 4, Pick 30 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They jumped the gun on Drew Allar, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Domani Jackson. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in No. 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They paid up for Marlin Klein at Round 5, Pick 27 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at No. 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Value said wait; Zxavian Harris in pick 172 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
They talked themselves into Jeff Caldwell at slot 193, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick200 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 200th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215 Rnd6 Marvin Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marvin Jones Jr.. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaten Wade well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Adam Randall this early at the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick249 Rnd7 Cole Payton
A slide stopped in pick 249, with Cole Payton worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
