Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

Some picks age like wine; Micah Morris at slot 253 will need to, sitting 73 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

McNeil-Warren falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Spending an early pick on cornerback with running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They went early on Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 43, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
A reach for Gabe Jacas in Round 2, Pick 15; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Banks in slot 49. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 87th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore at the 90th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Tacario Davis in pick No. 111 leaves running back for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
The board had Michael Trigg higher than pick No. 112, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Justin Joly
A tidy little value on Justin Joly in No. 113, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Nothing to complain about; Drew Allar went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Domani Jackson at the 154th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Fair-plus on Jalen Farmer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick 177 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ephesians Prysock at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
No edge and no loss on Zxavian Harris in slot 215; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in pick 221 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They jumped the gun on Cole Payton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Good price on Raylen Wilson in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at No. 253, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
