Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureA+
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Edwards from sliding. Grade: C. The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Edwards tumbling to the Dolphins in pick 224 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If Nelson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Hit on Kenneth Grant and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at pick 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Trey Amos
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 6 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to the 98th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A reach for Luke Kandra in No. 105; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lathan Ransom in slot 116. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Nice patience on Smael Mondon Jr., who had no business lasting to the 118th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Value with a capital V on Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 135, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in the 142nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Value said wait; Jack Nelson in No. 150 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Robinson at the 155th pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Donovan Edwards
Somehow Donovan Edwards was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at slot 242 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Sam Brown
Sam Brown in Round 7, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Circle this one: Teddye Buchanan at pick 256 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
