Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C

NeedB-

FutureA-
Larceny in pick No. 155 lands the Dolphins a C, Jones Jr. and all. When a board-topper like Emery Jones Jr. slides to No. 155, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
Every board in the league had Martin lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, tight end and other spots went begging.
If Shavon Revel Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Shavon Revel Jr.
The board had Shavon Revel Jr. higher than pick No. 34, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick48
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 48th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick52
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick70
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Good price on Elic Ayomanor in slot 70, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
They paid sticker price for Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 34, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A want over a need in pick 99: Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety while edge rusher, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick135
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the 135th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A tidy bit of business in No. 150, where Tyler Shough graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at No. 155 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Simeon Barrow Jr.
No edge and no loss on Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 224; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
They went early on Zeek Biggers in slot 231, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They reached into another round for Nick Martin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
