Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB+ FutureB
Abney II should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Keith Abney II, the 94th overall pick, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Dolphins indulged a want in Abney II while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No drama and no debate, Emmanuel Pregnon went about where he belonged in pick 49. The roster fit checks out.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Circle this one: Jake Slaughter at the 61st pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the 75th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A curious use of No. 94. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Keith Abney II did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at slot 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
A surprising call. With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 114 on Genesis Smith, a safety they were not short of.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry slid further than he should have, and slot 149 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
No edge and no loss on Earnest Greene III in the 197th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Good price on Isaiah Jatta in the 211th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
The board had cheaper options than Trey Zuhn III at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Barion Brown
By-the-book stuff, Barion Brown at pick 246 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
