Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Dominic Zvada went at the Round 7 slot, a good 62 picks before the board was ready.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Leavitt steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 7th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
They took Caleb Lomu at par in the 40th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Whit Weeks this early at No. 71. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
No drama and no debate, A.J. Haulcy went about where he belonged in pick 77. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
A tidy bit of business in slot 93, where Sam Leavitt graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chase Roberts. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada in the 221st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
