Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Jordan Hall, 30 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Golday value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 11th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They paid a round early for Lee Hunter in slot 43, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A straight-up fair deal on Domonique Orange at pick 75, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in Round 3, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in No. 111 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in No. 149. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A big swing on Jordan Hall at Round 7, Pick 11, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
