Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Dolphins land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Jackson Slater selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 51 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The Monangai steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

So much rides on Matthew Golden that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 22 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at slot 48 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick86 Rnd3 Charles Grant
By-the-book stuff, Charles Grant at the 86th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in pick 98 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They liked Cobee Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in the 116th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick150 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vernon Broughton well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 224th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at Round 7, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
You do not let a running back like Kyle Monangai reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
