Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureA+
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Joshua Braun, 35 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Scott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
They paid a round early for Caleb Tiernan in pick No. 43, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They will replay Omar Cooper Jr. at No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 16, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 87th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Devin Moore, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at No. 111 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick No. 146 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
They paid sticker price for Jalen Farmer in Round 5, Pick 11, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They talked themselves into Domani Jackson at the 154th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick206 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taking Taylen Green in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
The board had cheaper options than Zxavian Harris at pick 211, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in slot 227 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in the 238th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in pick 243 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They reached a country mile for Logan Taylor at slot 244, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in No. 250 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
