Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Giddens fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let DJ Giddens slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 8. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Moore pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 49th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 98 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cody Simon
They jumped the gun on Cody Simon, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They reached a country mile for Malachi Moore at Round 4, Pick 17, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 David Walker
They robbed the room for David Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kurtis Rourke at No. 150 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 155 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach pick 224 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at pick No. 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
