Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Dolphins to a C+.

The phones were a trap the Dolphins kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

However the rest shakes out, Claiborne at that price is a win they earned. Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
They reached into another round for Gabe Jacas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
They did well to land Chase Bisontis in Round 3, Pick 13, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 95th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Fair-plus on Michael Trigg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They paid sticker price for Justin Joly in pick No. 112, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
A straight-up fair deal on Dametrious Crownover at slot 130, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Nice patience on Isaiah World, who had no business lasting to the 151st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They talked themselves into Domani Jackson at No. 152, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 155, where Drew Allar graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne in the 171st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Good price on Marlin Klein in slot 177, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at pick 226 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at Round 7, Pick 11 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at the 239th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
A real head-scratcher, Logan Taylor in No. 247 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in Round 7, Pick 37 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
