Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Ty Robinson at the 116th overall pick. The Dolphins jumped the board by 49 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Trapilo. Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Good price on Tetairoa McMillan in slot 13, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They went early on Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 48, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick56 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maxwell Hairston at cornerback with edge rusher, running back and other spots open.
Pick62 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
A reach on Omarr Norman-Lott in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
The board had Ozzy Trapilo higher than Round 3, Pick 34, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They did well to land Lathan Ransom in the 109th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at pick 116, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
A reach for Jackson Slater in pick No. 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Willie Lampkin in No. 150, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke is a better player than the 155th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at slot 231 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
By-the-book stuff, Zeek Biggers at the 253rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
