Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Nowakowski pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Haulcy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A slide stopped in pick No. 43, with Brandon Cisse worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 75th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
A wild overpay on Keylan Rutledge in pick 87, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Good price on Sam Roush in the 90th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
A curious use of slot 111. Edge rusher, running back and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Genesis Smith did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Skyler Gill-Howard graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at No. 227 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cole Payton
No edge and no loss on Cole Payton in slot 238; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 243rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski in the 244th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
