Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Maiava is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Dolphins committed. Jayden Maiava is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Thompkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Trey'Dez Green
In pick 26 they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick31 Rnd1 Jayden Maiava
In pick No. 31 they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Will Echoles
They will replay Will Echoles at Round 2, Pick 2 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
Circle this one: Kewan Lacy at slot 66 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Anthony Boswell
They took Anthony Boswell at par in the 139th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Corey Myrick
You do not let a safety like Corey Myrick reach No. 159 and blink. They did not. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nicholas Rodriguez
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Rodriguez still on the board at the 180th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jake Guarnera
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jake Guarnera in the 239th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Donovan Jones
They read the board right and Donovan Jones was the payoff at slot 254. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
