Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureA-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B.

The Jackson Slater selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 26 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy little value on Xavier Watts in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in No. 85 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 98 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Slater in pick 101, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in the 150th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 155, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They liked Isaac TeSlaa enough to skip the value, taking him in the 224th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at No. 232 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
