Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureD
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: B.

The Dolphins did not so much draft Zen Michalski as overpay for him, 93 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That Sellers pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs is a better player than slot 11 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick57 Rnd2 LaNorris Sellers
You do not let a quarterback like LaNorris Sellers reach No. 57 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 75th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Fair-plus on Whit Weeks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Bud Clark
A curious use of pick 84. Edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Bud Clark did not.
Pick115 Rnd4 Isaiah Nwokobia
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Isaiah Nwokobia adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Bray Hubbard, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick154 Rnd5 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in the 154th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jordan White
Jordan White in pick 164 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Smith Snowden
By-the-book stuff, Smith Snowden at the 189th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193 Rnd6 Elliot Washington II
They paid sticker price for Elliot Washington II in Round 6, Pick 17, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 Zen Michalski
A real head-scratcher, Zen Michalski in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick228 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Catalon at pick No. 228 is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jalen Hale
Jalen Hale in No. 233 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
