Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC+
Conviction outran the board for the Dolphins, and it cost them: F.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Caden Curry, 43 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A F, plain and simple.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They banked enough surplus on Slaughter to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Zion Young
Zion Young at Round 1, Pick 18 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the 75th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 82 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jake Slaughter reach the 87th pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 90th pick on Treydan Stukes, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keyron Crawford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keyron Crawford well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They paid a round early for Bud Clark in pick 111, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy little value on Bryce Lance in the 122nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick127 Rnd4 Louis Moore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Louis Moore while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick137 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in slot 137 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in Round 7, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A reach for De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 7, Pick 28; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
