Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in No. 90 lands the Dolphins a B-, Slaughter and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Slaughter tumbling to the Dolphins in the Round 3 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Jacas proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Zion Young
In pick No. 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They reached into another round for Gabe Jacas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 75th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at Round 3, Pick 26. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Trigg in pick 111. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No edge and no loss on Mike Washington Jr. in the 116th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zxavian Harris at slot 227 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick235 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in pick No. 235 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Value said wait; Nolan Rucci in the 238th overall pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They paid a round early for Logan Taylor in pick 248, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
