Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureA-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Vincent Anthony Jr. went at the 59th overall pick, a good 115 picks before the board was ready.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vincent Anthony Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They took Darrell Jackson Jr. at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ar'maj Reed-Adams this early at No. 94. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 111th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They talked themselves into Rayshaun Benny at slot 149, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Brett Norfleet
A real head-scratcher, Brett Norfleet in the 167th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168 Rnd5 Taylen Green
No edge and no loss on Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in slot 177 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Barion Brown
No drama and no debate, Barion Brown went about where he belonged in pick 205. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215 Rnd6 Mitchell Melton
Mitchell Melton at pick No. 215 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
