Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 36 on CJ Dippre a full 99 spots early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

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

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Nothing to complain about; Abdul Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach on JT Tuimoloau in Round 2, Pick 16; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They did well to land Jake Majors in the 98th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaeden Roberts. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They will replay Lathan Ransom at No. 133 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the 149th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 154 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at Round 7, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at pick 231, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre in the 252nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
