Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesC+
FutureA+
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B. The Dolphins spent real capital to be 147 picks early on Keaten Wade, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The McNeil-Warren steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Spending an early pick on cornerback with running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick57
Rnd2
Omar Cooper Jr.
No drama and no debate, Omar Cooper Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 57. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to the 75th pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick80
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in No. 80, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89
Rnd3
Devin Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Devin Moore at cornerback with running back open.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Value with a capital V on Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 91, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
A conviction pick on Eli Raridon at the 116th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Perkins Jr. in pick No. 118; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129
Rnd4
Isaiah World
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah World at the 129th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Domani Jackson in the 130th pick leaves running back for later.
Pick155
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Drew Allar at the Round 5 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
They liked Marlin Klein enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 158. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
The board had cheaper options than Ted Hurst at slot 160, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at No. 173 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
A big swing on Jeff Caldwell at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216
Rnd6
George Gumbs Jr.
A wild overpay on George Gumbs Jr. in pick No. 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick220
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at slot 220 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at the 222nd pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keaten Wade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Good price on Raylen Wilson in No. 229, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Demmings at pick 236, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at slot 249 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nolan Rucci. A need, and now a little less of one.
