Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Jackson Slater selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 28 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Oladejo pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Value with a capital V on Jaxson Dart in No. 48, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A tidy bit of business in pick 98, where Sebastian Castro graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They reached a country mile for Jackson Slater at the 115th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
The board had Jacob Parrish higher than pick No. 135, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They reached into another round for Elijah Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
They went early on Ajani Cornelius in the 156th pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West is a better player than pick 226 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trevor Etienne in Round 7, Pick 15. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 252nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
