Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
A-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Dolphins reached some 58 spots for Caden Curry, and value like that does not grow back.
However the rest shakes out, McNeil-Warren at that price is a win they earned. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
A wild overpay on Gabe Jacas in Round 2, Pick 13, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60
Rnd2
Caden Curry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Caden Curry well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 62 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the 75th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Jake Golday at No. 90 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
The board had Zakee Wheatley higher than No. 94, and the safety fell to them anyway. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick111
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mike Washington Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 111. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115
Rnd4
Justin Joly
They did well to land Justin Joly in the 115th pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the 120th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 4, Pick 30 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
Good price on Jalen Farmer in slot 162, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
They paid a round early for Ted Hurst in pick 163, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
They paid sticker price for Ephesians Prysock in Round 6, Pick 6, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick198
Rnd6
Taylen Green
A slide stopped in No. 198, with Taylen Green worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
They talked themselves into Zxavian Harris at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
A reach for Jeff Caldwell in the 211th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
The board had cheaper options than Charles Demmings at pick No. 227, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in slot 238; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Braun. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A premium they did not need to pay, Nolan Rucci a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
A real head-scratcher, Riley Mahlman in pick 257 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
