Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: C+. The Dolphins spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Dominic Zvada, and the board is going to hold them to it.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Hit on Jordyn Tyson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
Value with a capital V on Jordyn Tyson in the 18th overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick30
Rnd1
Max Iheanachor
In pick No. 30 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Christen Miller
A reach on Christen Miller in pick 43; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at the 49th pick is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Germie Bernard at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach Round 3, Pick 18 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Taurean York
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taurean York this early at the 87th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Circle this one: Domonique Orange at pick 94 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117
Rnd4
Treydan Stukes
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 17 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 129th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Davison Igbinosun adds a cornerback while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
A straight-up fair deal on Jaeden Roberts at No. 151, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163
Rnd5
Drew Allar
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 163 with a little surplus value in Drew Allar. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
A tidy bit of business in slot 227, where Keyshaun Elliott graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dominic Zvada well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jaydn Ott
By-the-book stuff, Jaydn Ott at Round 7, Pick 23 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
