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

It is a puzzling start. The Dolphins had linebacker to solve and reached instead for Treydan Stukes, a cornerback, at slot 94. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Raridon falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 30th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
No edge and no loss on Gennings Dunker in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
No drama and no debate, Garrett Nussmeier went about where he belonged in slot 75. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dani Dennis-Sutton
Good price on Dani Dennis-Sutton in pick 87, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
The board had cheaper options than Genesis Smith at pick No. 90, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 3, Pick 30 on Treydan Stukes with linebacker unsolved.
Pick130 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
They paid up for Chris McClellan at No. 130 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the 151st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Zavion Thomas worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
Nothing to complain about; Jaydn Ott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
