Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Akheem Mesidor at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 107 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Getting Burnip where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A tidy bit of business in No. 53, where Tyler Booker graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick 98 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
A slide stopped in slot 114, with Mason Taylor worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick No. 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Steal is underselling it; Sebastian Castro at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 149th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They read the board right and Dont'e Thornton Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 189. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at Round 7, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 James Burnip
They will replay James Burnip at slot 231 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick235 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joey Slackman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to No. 252, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
