Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
F
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesF
FutureC-
Conviction outran the board for the Dolphins, and it cost them: F. Nobody had Hykeem Williams this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 59 spots to get him at No. 227. There is no dressing it up: a F.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is not that Scott is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.
The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hill Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In the 12th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sonny Styles at the 33rd pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick34
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
No edge and no loss on Brandon Cisse in slot 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick43
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Dillon Thieneman graded well above the range. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
The board fumbled Anthony Hill Jr. all the way to pick No. 59, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Keionte Scott adds a cornerback and leaves tight end and running back untouched.
Pick87
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
They liked Chase Bisontis enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 87. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Nice patience on Zachariah Branch, who had no business lasting to No. 94. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Caden Curry
They did well to land Caden Curry in Round 4, Pick 11, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Logan Jones in the 130th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the 132nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Malik Benson
Value with a capital V on Malik Benson in slot 148, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
They let DeMonte Capehart come to them and pounced at pick 150. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Fair-plus on Domani Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick157
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 157th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Eli Heidenreich
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eli Heidenreich in pick No. 215, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227
Rnd7
Hykeem Williams
They reached into another round for Hykeem Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
