Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Joey Slackman at Round 7, Pick 8, roughly 51 spots before his name belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Hancock steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 48th pick is lovely value for the tight end. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 98 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in slot 114, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 133rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Connor Colby well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Dont'e Thornton Jr. a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joey Slackman this early at the 224th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at slot 231 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick252 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A reach on Micah Morris in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
