Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Ewers: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Quinn Ewers at the 116th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every board in the league had Gordon II lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the 49th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Value with a capital V on Charles Grant in the 98th pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in pick No. 116 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Jordan Phillips worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at pick 135 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
A reach on Jalen Rivers in slot 150; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick153 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in No. 153 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They talked themselves into Ollie Gordon II at pick 155, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke Lachey at pick No. 224 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They took Desmond Watson at par in No. 231, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
No edge and no loss on Sam Brown Jr. in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
