Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA+
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Marvin Jones Jr., 110 picks ahead of schedule.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. On value alone, Prysock makes the weekend a net positive.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
They took Kadyn Proctor at par in No. 12, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Lee Hunter in the 52nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick57
Rnd2
Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at Round 2, Pick 25 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 72 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
The board had Keionte Scott higher than pick No. 75, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90
Rnd3
Devin Moore
Devin Moore in the 90th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at slot 97 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dametrious Crownover in the 109th overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Isaiah World
Isaiah World at pick 110 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111
Rnd4
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 111 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
No edge and no loss on Mike Washington Jr. in No. 112; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Justin Joly at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at Round 4, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 147th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
They paid a round early for Jalen Farmer in pick No. 148, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A reach on Domani Jackson in the 159th pick; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick165
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168
Rnd5
Marlin Klein
They paid sticker price for Marlin Klein in the 168th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Elarms-Orr. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick177
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
A wild overpay on Zxavian Harris in Round 5, Pick 37, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick179
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Aaron Graves at slot 179 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick189
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at slot 189 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick199
Rnd6
Taylen Green
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Taylen Green in pick 199. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
They robbed the room for Ephesians Prysock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211
Rnd6
Le'Veon Moss
A clean, defensible pick in the 211th overall pick with a little surplus value in Le'Veon Moss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
No drama and no debate, Raylen Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 4. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
A premium they did not need to pay, Charles Demmings a notch or two before his time. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick225
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They reached a country mile for Bryce Foster at No. 225, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
They talked themselves into Nolan Rucci at slot 226, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227
Rnd7
Marvin Jones Jr.
Marvin Jones Jr. at the 227th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229
Rnd7
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at Round 7, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick235
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Taylor. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in the 238th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at pick No. 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall in pick 241 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242
Rnd7
Micah Morris
A big swing on Micah Morris at pick No. 242, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Gentry well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
