Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

TradesA-
FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B+. Some picks age like wine; Dametrious Crownover at pick 92 will need to, sitting 45 spots clear of his grade.
The Haulcy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Zion Young
Zion Young in the 43rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49
Rnd2
LT Overton
LT Overton at pick 49 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick63
Rnd2
Anthony Lucas
Anthony Lucas at pick No. 63 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
They reached a country mile for Darrell Jackson Jr. at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at Round 3, Pick 23 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach slot 90 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover in slot 92 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Isaiah World
Value said wait; Isaiah World in the 95th pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
They reached into another round for Jalen Farmer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
They will replay Nicholas Singleton at No. 120 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. is a better player than pick No. 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick 151 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
They went early on Domani Jackson in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick177
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 37 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
Somehow Ted Hurst was still sitting there in the 189th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
The board had Ephesians Prysock higher than slot 196, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
A straight-up fair deal on Jeff Caldwell at pick No. 218, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
They liked Charles Demmings enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 221. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
A wild overpay on Logan Taylor in Round 7, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
They took Nolan Rucci at par in No. 255, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
