Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 8: the Dolphins steal Barton and grade out a B.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Lander Barton fell into Round 7, Pick 8. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Uiagalelei proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick 20 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 48th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to No. 58, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at slot 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A premium they did not need to pay, Rylie Mills a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Nice patience on Cam Skattebo, who had no business lasting to the 120th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 4, Pick 32 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
They paid sticker price for Jaeden Roberts in No. 149, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick154 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick189 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at pick No. 189 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A tidy little value on Logan Parr in Round 7, Pick 15, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Circle this one: Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 252nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
