Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in pick 150: the Dolphins steal Lane and grade out a A-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jaylin Lane slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at the 150th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In No. 17 they get a downhill hitter at safety, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at slot 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Xavier Watts in pick 48 leaves edge rusher for later.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Somehow Omarion Hampton was still sitting there in the 51st pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A tidy little value on Carson Schwesinger in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They paid sticker price for Zy Alexander in the 98th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Nothing to complain about; Anthony Belton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick No. 118 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips slipping to the 119th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in pick No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They did well to land Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at pick 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 196th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at slot 224 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jermari Harris in No. 231. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks slid further than he should have, and pick 242 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 244 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A clean, defensible pick in No. 253 with a little surplus value in Teddye Buchanan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
