Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB
The Dolphins robbed the room for Majors. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jake Majors had no business being available in the 135th pick, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Fairchild has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick 22 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the 51st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They went early on Dylan Fairchild in slot 86, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 98 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They read the board right and Jaylin Noel was the payoff at pick No. 115. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in Round 4, Pick 23 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 135th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan James
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jordan James in No. 151, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
They robbed the room for Kyren Lacy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick177 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
A tidy little value on Dorian Strong in the 177th pick, a step better than break-even. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
