Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 253 on Jahiem White a full 88 spots early.

Landing Hurst that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Teitum Tuioti
In pick 26 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Trevor Lauck
A big swing on Trevor Lauck at slot 34, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover in Round 3, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Terrance Carter Jr. at the 98th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick100 Rnd3 Mike Matthews
They paid up for Mike Matthews at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Greg Johnson
A slide stopped in the 118th pick, with Greg Johnson worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Shadre Hurst
Somehow Shadre Hurst was still sitting there in No. 119, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jayden Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Jackson at Round 4, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126 Rnd4 Luke Reynolds
The board had cheaper options than Luke Reynolds at pick 126, and it noticed. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justin Evans
Justin Evans at pick No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Robert Fitzgerald
The board had Robert Fitzgerald higher than the Round 5 slot, and the safety fell to them anyway. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick201 Rnd6 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite in slot 201 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd7 Braylan Shelby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braylan Shelby this early at the 217th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Christian Alliegro
Nice patience on Christian Alliegro, who had no business lasting to the 227th overall pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick248 Rnd7 Boo Carter
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 32, where Boo Carter graded well above the range. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jahiem White
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jahiem White well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
