Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Taylen Green a full 40 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That Slaughter pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Abney II pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and running back.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
Pick30 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In the 30th pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick39 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick43 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in pick No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Keith Abney II in Round 3, Pick 6 leaves edge rusher and running back for later.
Pick75 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They read the board right and Germie Bernard was the payoff at the 75th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Value with a capital V on Keylan Rutledge in pick 90, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the 94th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in pick No. 130 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 151st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
A reach on Jaren Kanak in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick238 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A tidy bit of business in slot 238, where Thaddeus Dixon graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
