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.
