Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB+
Grand theft in the 84th pick: the Dolphins steal Miller and grade out a B+.

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Christen Miller, the No. 37 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 3 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Reaching for Tucker left real value on the table behind him. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 30th pick they get a security blanket over the middle at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
They will replay Arvell Reese at slot 40 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson in pick 52 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christen Miller
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 84 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at Round 3, Pick 23 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in pick No. 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Somehow Zachariah Branch was still sitting there in the 92nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
You do not let a running back like Jonah Coleman reach slot 94 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Circle this one: Logan Jones at pick 109 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
No edge and no loss on Bishop Fitzgerald in Round 4, Pick 18; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
They did well to land Ted Hurst in the 119th pick, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Will Lee III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Lee III in No. 128. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick130 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A wild overpay on Nadame Tucker in pick No. 151, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A clean, defensible pick in the 157th overall pick with a little surplus value in Kage Casey. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Febechi Nwaiwu
They paid sticker price for Febechi Nwaiwu in the 169th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick180 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They took DJ Campbell at par in the 180th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson in slot 201 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Noah Whittington at pick 227 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
They robbed the room for Aiden Fisher here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
