Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureA+
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Demmings from sliding. Grade: A-. The real work happened on the phones. The Dolphins fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Demmings pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Bottom line, with Makai Lemon leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick75
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Nothing to complain about; Dontay Corleone went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Julian Neal at slot 90 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald at pick 118 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
A clean, defensible pick in the 150th pick with a little surplus value in DeMonte Capehart. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick177
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher slipping to pick No. 177 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189
Rnd6
Tyren Montgomery
They will replay Tyren Montgomery at the 189th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199
Rnd6
Rayshaun Benny
No edge and no loss on Rayshaun Benny in No. 199; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick200
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick 200 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jadon Canady
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jadon Canady in the 215th pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jeremiah Wright
They read the board right and Jeremiah Wright was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 6. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in slot 225 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Raylen Wilson
Good price on Raylen Wilson in the 227th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236
Rnd7
Noah Whittington
A tidy bit of business in pick 236, where Noah Whittington graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257
Rnd7
Charles Demmings
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Charles Demmings in No. 257, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
