Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Michael Harris. He came off 55 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Bailey falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

If Avieon Terrell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 15th overall pick they get an island corner, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at pick 47 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
They talked themselves into Evan Stewart at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 David Bailey
A quiet steal in slot 84: David Bailey for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kage Casey
A conviction pick on Kage Casey at the 115th pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter in pick No. 154 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams in the 193rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick228 Rnd7 Michael Harris
A real head-scratcher, Michael Harris in pick 228 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
