Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureA
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 225 on Eric Gentry a full 131 spots early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Scott steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A big swing on Gabe Jacas at the 43rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 75th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They will replay Connor Lew at slot 87 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in Round 3, Pick 30 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A tidy little value on Michael Trigg in pick 111, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
No drama and no debate, Jalen Farmer went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 11. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A conviction pick on Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick168 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
No edge and no loss on Marlin Klein in the 168th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick No. 170 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in No. 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at slot 221 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in the 225th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
A real head-scratcher, Hykeem Williams in the 228th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in slot 238 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 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.
Pick241 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They reached a country mile for Logan Taylor at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
They talked themselves into Tristan Leigh at pick No. 246, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A wild overpay on Micah Morris in the 251st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Value said wait; Joshua Braun in No. 256 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Riley Mahlman well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
