Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Haulcy: C+. You could see the war room lean forward. A.J. Haulcy at Round 3, Pick 23 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Scott pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Hit on Kenyon Sadiq and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 32 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in slot 49 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
Circle this one: Gennings Dunker at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
The board fumbled A.J. Haulcy all the way to Round 3, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick90
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Keionte Scott while clear needs at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick91
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
They will replay Josiah Trotter at pick 91 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick96
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 96th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97
Rnd3
Emmett Johnson
A quiet steal in the 97th overall pick: Emmett Johnson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They paid sticker price for Zachariah Branch in slot 111, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126
Rnd4
Chase Bisontis
They read the board right and Chase Bisontis was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar is a better player than the 149th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
