Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Dolphins. For now, C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eugene Asante in slot 224, a good 207 spots before the room expected him. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 13 they get an anchor for the defensive front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jonah Savaiinaea in the 48th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 98 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 116 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jason Marshall Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dante Trader Jr.
Dante Trader Jr. at Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Zeek Biggers
They talked themselves into Zeek Biggers at the 155th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Eugene Asante
They reached into another round for Eugene Asante, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A big swing on Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 231, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong in Round 7, Pick 37 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
