Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins let Green fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Cayden Green slide 193 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Puka Nacua leading the way. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Matayo Uiagalelei and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In the 29th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Charlie Becker
Taking Charlie Becker in slot 61 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 A.J. Holmes Jr.
Steal is underselling it; A.J. Holmes Jr. at No. 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dante Moore
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 11 is the definition of value, full stop. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jamari Johnson
They robbed the room for Jamari Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jadan Baugh
Jadan Baugh in pick No. 167 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Sammy Brown
The board fumbled Sammy Brown all the way to pick 208, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick232 Rnd7 Darian Mensah
Darian Mensah at No. 232 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
