Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesB+
FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins. The Keaten Wade pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 122 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Tytus Howard leading the way. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick75
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 75 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in the 77th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
Taking Eli Stowers in the 91st pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore is a better player than Round 3, Pick 30 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 116 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Kobi Lane reach No. 120 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
They took Eli Raridon at par in pick No. 130, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Farmer at Round 5, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in the 155th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick176
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ted Hurst in No. 176. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
The board had cheaper options than Jeff Caldwell at slot 210, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
They jumped the gun on Charles Demmings, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick227
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marvin Jones Jr. this early at the 236th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A real head-scratcher, Nolan Rucci in pick 238 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in the 242nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
They reached into another round for Joshua Braun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247
Rnd7
Adam Randall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Adam Randall in No. 247, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in pick No. 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
Value said wait; Daevin Hobbs in slot 252 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at Round 7, Pick 40 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
They reached a country mile for Eric Gentry at pick 257, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
