Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA-
FutureA+
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Keaten Wade; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 175 spots ahead at slot 198. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
Landing Hill Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick77
Rnd3
Anthony Hill Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 77, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to Round 3, Pick 25, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 90th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in pick 91; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
They let Ja'Kobi Lane come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
A clean, defensible pick in No. 112 with a little surplus value in Michael Trigg. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
A slide stopped in the 120th overall pick, with Tacario Davis worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 126th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146
Rnd5
Dametrious Crownover
Nice patience on Dametrious Crownover, who had no business lasting to No. 146. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A wild overpay on Domani Jackson in Round 5, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick152
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They did well to land Drew Allar in pick No. 152, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marlin Klein well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in slot 155 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick165
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
A real head-scratcher, Zxavian Harris in No. 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180
Rnd5
Ephesians Prysock
No drama and no debate, Ephesians Prysock went about where he belonged in the 180th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick187
Rnd6
VJ Payne
VJ Payne at the 187th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick189
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
A tidy little value on Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick194
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They talked themselves into Patrick Payton at slot 194, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195
Rnd6
Marvin Jones Jr.
They reached a country mile for Marvin Jones Jr. at pick 195, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198
Rnd6
Keaten Wade
A big swing on Keaten Wade at Round 6, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211
Rnd6
Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in pick No. 211 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Dane Key
Dane Key at Round 7, Pick 5 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
They paid sticker price for Raylen Wilson in pick 225, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
The board had cheaper options than Charles Demmings at the 226th pick, and it noticed. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick227
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bryce Foster this early at No. 227. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nolan Rucci. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the 250th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
A conviction pick on Tristan Leigh at slot 255 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
