Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall F
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The board had answers; the Dolphins had Sydnor. Grade: F.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Khordae Sydnor at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 197 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Robertson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 12th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava at No. 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick77 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe slipping to pick No. 77 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick85 Rnd3 Akheem Mesidor
They reached into another round for Akheem Mesidor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 David Oke
David Oke at Round 3, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
They talked themselves into Jude Bowry at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Value with a capital V on Justin Joly in the 154th pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd5 Josh Hoover
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josh Hoover this early at Round 5, Pick 38. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Avery Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Avery Johnson in No. 179, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miller Moss
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miller Moss well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson is a better player than pick No. 212 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jaquaize Pettaway
Value said wait; Jaquaize Pettaway in pick 213 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
They jumped the gun on Trebor Pena, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd7 Tree Babalade
They did well to land Tree Babalade in pick No. 216, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Altmyer a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd7 Aidan Chiles
Aidan Chiles at Round 7, Pick 4 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Quinten Joyner
Fair-plus on Quinten Joyner, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaiah Nwokobia at pick 229 is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with DeAndre Moore Jr. worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 239th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clayton Smith. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
Khordae Sydnor in No. 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
