Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins found their guy under center in Maye: D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Drake Maye gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCaffrey.

If McLachlan pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get their quarterback of the future at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick23 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick 23 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter slipping to pick No. 55 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 108 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They took Beau Brade at par in the 129th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick158 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
The board fumbled Luke McCaffrey all the way to the 184th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at slot 198 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at pick No. 241 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
