Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
Larceny in No. 133 lands the Dolphins a B, Carter and all.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Barrett Carter, the No. 81 name on the board, in pick No. 133. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Mertz left real value on the table behind him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than the Round 2 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tai Felton at pick 98. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor is a better player than No. 114 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the 126th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at Round 5, Pick 12 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
Nothing to complain about; Howard Cross III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They robbed the room for Seth McLaughlin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 James Burnip
The board fumbled James Burnip all the way to Round 7, Pick 15, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick252 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A real head-scratcher, Graham Mertz in the 252nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
