Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Dolphins.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Marvin Jones Jr. at slot 167 is 171 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Wheatley pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick70 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at pick 70 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis in the 71st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Devin Moore a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Markel Bell
A big swing on Markel Bell at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Isaiah World
They reached a country mile for Isaiah World at the 87th pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dametrious Crownover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dametrious Crownover well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at slot 97 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
You do not let a safety like Zakee Wheatley reach Round 4, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A real head-scratcher, Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 111 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the 112th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jalen Farmer
A wild overpay on Jalen Farmer in pick No. 120, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
They reached into another round for Bryce Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick141 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Taking Bud Clark in the 141st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick147 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They took Domani Jackson at par in pick 147, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick151 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 151 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason Reiger
They talked themselves into Mason Reiger at slot 154, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at the 165th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at pick No. 167 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick183 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zxavian Harris in the Round 6 slot, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Taylen Green
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taylen Green. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 196 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock slid further than he should have, and the 197th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick198 Rnd6 Lander Barton
The board had Lander Barton higher than pick No. 198, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in slot 201 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Nothing to complain about; Le'Veon Moss went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder at pick 217 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
No drama and no debate, Raylen Wilson went about where he belonged in No. 220. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223 Rnd7 Dane Key
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dane Key at Round 7, Pick 7. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A slide stopped in the 231st pick, with Miles Kitselman worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
A tidy bit of business in No. 236, where Jalen Huskey graded well above the range. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
By-the-book stuff, Charles Demmings at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cole Payton
No edge and no loss on Cole Payton in pick No. 239; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in the 250th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They liked Logan Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 254. It fills a real need, too.
