Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Akheem Mesidor at slot 252, a reach of 84 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Judkins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Emmanwori at slot 22 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A quiet steal in pick No. 48: Tyler Booker for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 58th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Andrew Mukuba in No. 98 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick114 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the 114th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in pick 116 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
A tidy bit of business in No. 126, where Kyren Lacy graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rylie Mills. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 5, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 James Burnip
They barely believed it either: James Burnip still on the board at the 197th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to pick 224, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Akheem Mesidor this early at slot 252. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
