Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureA+
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Eric Gentry a full 117 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Lew steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick57
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Banks at slot 57 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Somehow Eli Stowers was still sitting there in the 75th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Connor Lew
They robbed the room for Connor Lew here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Nothing to complain about; Devin Moore went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dametrious Crownover in the 93rd overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at No. 94 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in pick No. 130 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Febechi Nwaiwu
Febechi Nwaiwu at pick 146 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168
Rnd5
Bryce Foster
A big swing on Bryce Foster at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Fair-plus on Domani Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick176
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
Value with a capital V on Marlin Klein in slot 176, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They jumped the gun on Jeff Caldwell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207
Rnd6
Charles Demmings
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Demmings. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick210
Rnd6
Adam Randall
They talked themselves into Adam Randall at Round 6, Pick 29, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
Value said wait; Hykeem Williams in pick 220 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227
Rnd7
Caleb Douglas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caleb Douglas this early at pick No. 227. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick232
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at slot 232 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at Round 7, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at No. 251 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A straight-up fair deal on Nolan Rucci at the 252nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in the 256th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Micah Morris
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
