Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Eric Gentry at No. 242 is 114 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
The Lew pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick94
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at the 94th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96
Rnd3
Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in No. 96 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They reached into another round for Ar'maj Reed-Adams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the 105th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg slipping to Round 4, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dametrious Crownover. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in Round 4, Pick 16 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick118
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Value with a capital V on Tacario Davis in No. 118, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick128
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eli Raridon in pick No. 128. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They went early on Domani Jackson in pick 145, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick151
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
A reach on Aaron Graves in the 151st overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
A clean, defensible pick in slot 155 with a little surplus value in Kyle Louis. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at the 165th pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177
Rnd5
George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in the 180th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ted Hurst in slot 201, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
Dane Key
Dane Key at No. 211 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213
Rnd6
Thaddeus Dixon
No edge and no loss on Thaddeus Dixon in the 213th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick218
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in pick 218 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
They paid sticker price for Jeff Caldwell in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Raylen Wilson at Round 7, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jalen Huskey
They took Jalen Huskey at par in pick No. 224, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jaren Kanak
No drama and no debate, Jaren Kanak went about where he belonged in No. 225. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
They paid up for Charles Demmings at slot 227 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick228
Rnd7
Cole Payton
The board had cheaper options than Cole Payton at pick No. 228, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick229
Rnd7
Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in pick 229 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 236th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 22. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the 242nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Marvin Jones Jr. in Round 7, Pick 35 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at slot 253 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in the 256th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
A wild overpay on Hykeem Williams in pick No. 257, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
