Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureA
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Dametrious Crownover at slot 111 is 25 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Clark pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and running back still on the board. On value alone, Thomas makes the weekend a net positive.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 26 they get a red-zone target to build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A slide stopped in the 43rd pick, with Brandon Cisse worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A reasonable price with a little left over, Germie Bernard in the 62nd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at Round 3, Pick 11 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
A reach for Keylan Rutledge in No. 87; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in pick 90 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dametrious Crownover this early at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
Malachi Lawrence at the 126th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A curious use of pick 130. Interior defensive lineman and running back needed the pick; a safety in Bud Clark did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer in slot 149 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Value said wait; Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 28 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They reached into another round for Lander Barton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at the 220th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick227 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick No. 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 246 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Fair-plus on Trey Zuhn III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
