Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: A-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Eric Gentry at pick 231 is 125 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.
Capehart at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, with Omar Cooper Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick69
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Nice patience on Omar Cooper Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 5. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76
Rnd3
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas is a better player than the 76th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 85th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Chase Bisontis graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 94. The roster fit checks out.
Pick96
Rnd3
Devin Moore
A quiet steal in No. 96: Devin Moore for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick99
Rnd3
Dani Dennis-Sutton
They barely believed it either: Dani Dennis-Sutton still on the board at the 99th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick111
Rnd4
Markel Bell
Markel Bell slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 11 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at pick No. 114 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They will replay Michael Trigg at No. 129 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Taking Mike Washington Jr. in pick 132 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
Circle this one: Keylan Rutledge at the 136th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jaishawn Barham
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 148 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick No. 150 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick166
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
They robbed the room for Dametrious Crownover here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at No. 170 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176
Rnd5
Cole Payton
A big swing on Cole Payton at the 176th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 177th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jeff Caldwell in Round 6, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in slot 213 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 214 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215
Rnd6
Nolan Rucci
They talked themselves into Nolan Rucci at the 215th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Marvin Jones Jr. in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227
Rnd7
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 227th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Raylen Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237
Rnd7
DeMonte Capehart
Steal is underselling it; DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 237 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Ephesians Prysock
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ephesians Prysock in Round 7, Pick 30, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at pick No. 251 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick254
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Mahlman well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
