Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Jalen Farmer, 61 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Getting Moore where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in Round 2, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
They let Caleb Tiernan come to them and pounced at the 62nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Markel Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Markel Bell well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dametrious Crownover
A big swing on Dametrious Crownover at the 87th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the 91st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jalen Farmer
A real head-scratcher, Jalen Farmer in pick No. 95 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in Round 4, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at No. 112 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They robbed the room for Justin Joly here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Domani Jackson. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick165 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Demond Claiborne in slot 165. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A straight-up fair deal on Marlin Klein at pick 168, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
The board fumbled Ted Hurst all the way to No. 196, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
A reach for Zxavian Harris in slot 209; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
No drama and no debate, Jeff Caldwell went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 4. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
They went early on Charles Demmings in pick No. 227, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick228 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at the 228th pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nolan Rucci in the 238th overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in pick 250 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun at the 253rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominic Zvada this early at pick No. 257. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
