Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueC
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Keaten Wade pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 117 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
They paid a round early for Gabe Jacas in No. 49, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Markel Bell
Markel Bell in the 75th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in slot 82 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
The board fumbled Jake Slaughter all the way to Round 3, Pick 26, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Fair-plus on Devin Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dametrious Crownover
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dametrious Crownover well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108
Rnd4
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at slot 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jalen Farmer
A wild overpay on Jalen Farmer in Round 4, Pick 18, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Bud Clark
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Bud Clark in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
No edge and no loss on Eli Raridon in pick 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
They took Harold Perkins Jr. at par in pick No. 130, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147
Rnd5
Demond Claiborne
They paid sticker price for Demond Claiborne in the 147th overall pick, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at No. 151 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick152
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
They liked Marlin Klein enough to skip the value, taking him in the 152nd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163
Rnd5
Febechi Nwaiwu
No drama and no debate, Febechi Nwaiwu went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 23. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in No. 170 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at slot 171 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196
Rnd6
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Somehow Kaleb Elarms-Orr was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
They let Le'Veon Moss come to them and pounced at pick No. 209. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in the 227th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bryce Foster. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 235th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick238
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at Round 7, Pick 22 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in pick 244 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246
Rnd7
John Michael Gyllenborg
John Michael Gyllenborg at the 246th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Daevin Hobbs this early at No. 247. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick249
Rnd7
Joey Aguilar
Value said wait; Joey Aguilar in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
They talked themselves into Joshua Braun at pick No. 251, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at slot 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
They reached into another round for Marvin Jones Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keaten Wade in slot 256, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
