Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 7, Pick 11 on Riley Nowakowski a full 46 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hill Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In pick No. 28 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick38 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at pick 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 43rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 59th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in Round 3, Pick 11 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Nothing to complain about; Zakee Wheatley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sam Roush
By-the-book stuff, Sam Roush at slot 90 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Genesis Smith while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
The board had cheaper options than Jalen Farmer at the 149th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Riley Nowakowski. A need, and now a little less of one.
