Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB- TradesA FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B+.

The DeShon Singleton selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 99 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Stowers value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at slot 43 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Markel Bell
Markel Bell in the 75th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach Round 3, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 94, where Devin Moore graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mike Washington Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Nothing to complain about; Justin Joly went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They did well to land Drew Allar in Round 5, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at No. 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Taylen Green at the Round 6 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the 220th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Daevin Hobbs well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
They paid a round early for Charles Demmings in the 227th overall pick, more than the board wanted. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick228 Rnd7 DeShon Singleton
DeShon Singleton at pick 228 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They talked themselves into Logan Taylor at pick No. 231, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick 238 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Value with a capital V on Raylen Wilson in slot 239, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They liked Bryce Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in the 241st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
The board had Jaren Kanak higher than Round 7, Pick 27, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A conviction pick on Nolan Rucci at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A wild overpay on Tristan Leigh in pick No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
They paid sticker price for John Michael Gyllenborg in the 251st pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They jumped the gun on Robert Spears-Jennings, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Value said wait; Joshua Braun in No. 253 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in pick 256 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at slot 257 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
