Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Slaughter: B-.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jake Slaughter fell into the Round 3 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If Klubnik pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They let Christen Miller come to them and pounced at the 45th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at the 75th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at pick No. 87 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Malik Muhammad worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
The board had Zakee Wheatley higher than Round 3, Pick 27, and the safety fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in slot 111 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kage Casey
The board had cheaper options than Kage Casey at No. 126, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Coleman Jr. in pick 149, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas in the 227th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
