Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Milroe from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jalen Milroe at No. 161 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 13th overall pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
No edge and no loss on Xavier Watts in the 48th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach slot 98 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darien Porter
They barely believed it either: Darien Porter still on the board at pick 115. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick151 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 5, Pick 12, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They robbed the room for Hollin Pierce here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They will replay Woody Marks at No. 226 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in pick 233, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
