Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA-
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Marvin Jones Jr. at pick 253 regardless, 84 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The veteran additions, Malik Hooker chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In slot 26 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In pick No. 30 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick47
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
They paid a round early for Gabe Jacas in pick 47, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to the 75th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at No. 87 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
They will replay Chase Bisontis at Round 3, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They did well to land Michael Trigg in the 112th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Fair-plus on Mike Washington Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at slot 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
A straight-up fair deal on Dametrious Crownover at Round 4, Pick 30, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131
Rnd4
Isaiah World
A reach on Isaiah World in the 131st pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A tidy little value on Drew Allar in pick No. 151, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
They took Jalen Farmer at par in pick 157, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at the 163rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in pick No. 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Good price on Jeff Caldwell in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
They paid sticker price for Charles Demmings in slot 234, and that is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick235
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at No. 235, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nolan Rucci this early at Round 7, Pick 22. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
A big swing on Logan Taylor at the 239th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick241
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick 241 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
A wild overpay on Tristan Leigh in the 244th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Braun. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marvin Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
