Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Carr in the fold, and a B+ for the Dolphins.

Start where it matters. The Dolphins took CJ Carr to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That Echoles pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 CJ Carr
In No. 27 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 KJ Duff
No drama and no debate, KJ Duff went about where he belonged in the 34th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick40 Rnd2 Will Echoles
They will replay Will Echoles at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
Kewan Lacy in pick 65 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick105 Rnd4 Melvin Siani
By-the-book stuff, Melvin Siani at slot 105 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Anthony Boswell
Anthony Boswell at pick No. 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Justin Evans
They did well to land Justin Evans in Round 5, Pick 16, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Elijah Paige
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Paige in the 181st pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea at Round 7, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bryce Thornton
Bryce Thornton in slot 247 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick255 Rnd7 Elinneus Davis
Elinneus Davis in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
