Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B+. The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 199th overall pick on Marvin Jones Jr. a full 139 spots early.
The Branch value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick74
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 74th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Nice patience on Keionte Scott, who had no business lasting to No. 75. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
No drama and no debate, Zakee Wheatley went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 95th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick 109 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Justin Joly at pick No. 111 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They paid sticker price for Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 113, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryce Lance in pick No. 120. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bud Clark
Fair-plus on Bud Clark, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick128
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
They did well to land Eli Raridon in the 128th pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaiah World
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah World at the 130th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
A conviction pick on DeMonte Capehart at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
A clean, defensible pick in pick 149 with a little surplus value in Beau Stephens. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at No. 152 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick153
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in No. 153 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 160 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Cole Payton
They talked themselves into Cole Payton at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5
Logan Fano
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Fano. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
A big swing on Jeff Caldwell at the 173rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst slipping to pick 187 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199
Rnd6
Marvin Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marvin Jones Jr. in the 199th pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 211th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Raylen Wilson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
They liked Charles Demmings enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 227. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
By-the-book stuff, Eli Heidenreich at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick244
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
A wild overpay on Daevin Hobbs in the 244th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 251 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
No edge and no loss on Nolan Rucci in pick No. 257; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
