Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B to prove it.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick 238 on Dasan McCullough a full 84 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Everette pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and running back still on the board.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
They let Kenyon Sadiq come to them and pounced at the Round 1 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick30 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In pick No. 30 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the 40th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at No. 43 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in Round 3, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to the 75th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Value said wait; Caden Curry in pick 90 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
Good price on Ted Hurst in No. 94, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Daylen Everette with interior defensive lineman and running back unsolved.
Pick130 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Julian Neal in the 130th pick leaves interior defensive lineman and running back for later.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at the 148th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick No. 151 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
They reached a country mile for Jalon Daniels at slot 227, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough in pick No. 238 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
