Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the C.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Reaching for Womack left real value on the table behind him. Landing Lew that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Good price on Kamari Ramsey in the 43rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
No drama and no debate, Keionte Scott went about where he belonged in pick 66. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They paid sticker price for Domonique Orange in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They took Jack Endries at par in pick No. 104, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A premium they did not need to pay, Chase Bisontis a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A tidy little value on CJ Daniels in slot 142, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A quiet steal in pick 150: Drew Allar for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
This one needs a full-page explanation: Da'Shawn Womack in the Round 7 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
