Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took CJ Daniels a full 36 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They banked enough surplus on Downs to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 11th pick they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 43rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III slipping to Round 3, Pick 11 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Harold Perkins Jr. a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A big swing on Michael Trigg at pick 111, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
They reached a country mile for CJ Daniels at No. 149, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Barion Brown
A wild overpay on Barion Brown in slot 227, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
