Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Keaten Wade at slot 246 regardless, 128 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That Stowers pick is the receipt they will wave around later. With linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chase Bisontis
They liked Chase Bisontis enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 57. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They went early on Devin Moore in pick No. 75, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They will replay Eli Stowers at the 87th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
No drama and no debate, Nicholas Singleton went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 26. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 94 on Tacario Davis with linebacker unsolved.
Pick120 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Somehow Michael Trigg was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at slot 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick129 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon in pick 129 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Isaiah World
They paid sticker price for Isaiah World in the 131st pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Fair-plus on Beau Stephens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in the 152nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 25 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zxavian Harris. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
A clean, defensible pick in the 227th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jeff Caldwell. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A big swing on Marvin Jones Jr. at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at the 246th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
A conviction pick on Bryce Foster at slot 247 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
No edge and no loss on Nolan Rucci in pick No. 252; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
