Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Allar: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The Allar pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Scott pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and running back. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 25 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slipping to Round 2, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick55 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 55th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They read the board right and Caleb Banks was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They robbed the room for D'Angelo Ponds here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and running back to take Keionte Scott, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Roush
A quiet steal in slot 97: Sam Roush for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
Steal is underselling it; Brenen Thompson at Round 4, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ Daniels at No. 149 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey is a better player than pick 161 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
A clean, defensible pick in the 163rd pick with a little surplus value in Jalen Farmer. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Circle this one: Drew Allar at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the 227th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
