Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Dolphins spent pick No. 125 on Javon Solomon while interior defensive lineman sat unaddressed. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Schrader pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Landing Kneeland that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
They read the board right and Marshawn Kneeland was the payoff at pick 88. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in the 123rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in pick No. 125: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in No. 158 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in slot 184, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Nothing to complain about; Ty'Ron Hopper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in pick 198 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 KT Leveston
A straight-up fair deal on KT Leveston at slot 241, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
