Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Dolphins let Emmanwori fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, sitting there at Round 2, Pick 16 like a gift left on the doorstep.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Reaching for Rucker left real value on the table behind him. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 17 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in pick 49, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 98th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at the 116th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A reach for Kaimon Rucker in slot 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at Round 5, Pick 12 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They went early on Ty Robinson in pick No. 155, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Fair-plus on Robert Longerbeam, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in pick 231, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
