Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keaten Wade; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 125 spots ahead at the 246th overall pick. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Kyler Murray leading the way. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, with Anthony Hill Jr. leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Somehow Anthony Hill Jr. was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 63rd pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Steal is underselling it; Eli Stowers at slot 75 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Washington Jr. at No. 87 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Taking Chase Bisontis in pick 89 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They took Devin Moore at par in pick No. 90, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 94th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Sam Roush
By-the-book stuff, Sam Roush at pick No. 95 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
No drama and no debate, Ja'Kobi Lane went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 122nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick129 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They read the board right and Julian Neal was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 29. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick130 Rnd4 Isaiah World
They went early on Isaiah World in slot 130, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick131 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They reached a country mile for Drew Allar at No. 131, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 151 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at No. 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 30 is lovely value for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick 171 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jeff Caldwell in slot 191. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in pick No. 227 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A real head-scratcher, Eric Gentry in the 229th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at the 238th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
No edge and no loss on Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
