Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keaten Wade; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 152 spots ahead at pick 222.

That Scott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in the 43rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in the 75th overall pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They will replay Keionte Scott at pick No. 90 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A tidy bit of business in slot 118, where Mike Washington Jr. graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at Round 4, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A reach on Isaiah World in pick 126; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A straight-up fair deal on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at Round 4, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in the 151st overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick152 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
By-the-book stuff, Ted Hurst at No. 168 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zxavian Harris this early at the 171st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
Value said wait; Jeff Caldwell in slot 177 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202 Rnd6 George Gumbs Jr.
They reached a country mile for George Gumbs Jr. at Round 6, Pick 21, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at pick 227, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They reached into another round for Nolan Rucci, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
