Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B to prove it.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jalen Farmer, 41 picks early at Round 4, Pick 16. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Lew falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Grant Delpit leading the way.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick60 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
The board fumbled Anthony Hill Jr. all the way to the 60th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Devin Moore in slot 91. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They did well to land Ja'Kobi Lane in No. 97, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick107 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Nothing to complain about; Michael Trigg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mike Washington Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 111. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A big swing on Dametrious Crownover at the 113th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer at No. 116 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at slot 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick 149 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DeMonte Capehart at Round 5, Pick 11. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick168 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A straight-up fair deal on Ted Hurst at the 168th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marlin Klein. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They paid up for Taylen Green at the 177th pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at slot 212 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 220th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
The board had cheaper options than Charles Demmings at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at No. 229 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nolan Rucci this early at pick 234. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in pick No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
