Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureA+
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B+ to prove it.

You could see the war room lean forward. Keionte Scott at the 87th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Every board in the league had World lower, and that gap is the story.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
No drama and no debate, Max Iheanachor went about where he belonged in slot 48. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 72nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach pick No. 75 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Taking Keionte Scott in pick 87 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Devin Moore at cornerback with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick103 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
No edge and no loss on Michael Trigg in No. 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the 112th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Steal is underselling it; Genesis Smith at slot 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 125th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in the 131st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
They took Demond Claiborne at par in the 151st pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick 189 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 221 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in No. 227 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 238 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at Round 7, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
