Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Sanders: C-.

Thirty-one other rooms let T.J. Sanders slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 20. Highway robbery.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter in slot 42 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to pick 48, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at the 106th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Taking Jihaad Campbell in No. 135 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 155th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171 Rnd5 Darien Porter
Steal is underselling it; Darien Porter at pick No. 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205 Rnd6 Will Howard
You do not let a quarterback like Will Howard reach Round 6, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 7, Pick 8 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 236th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at slot 238 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Somehow Xavier Restrepo was still sitting there in the 251st overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in No. 253 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in pick 257, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
