Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in No. 87 lands the Dolphins a B+, Ramsey and all.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Dolphins were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The Ramsey pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. It is not that Kilgore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Lane pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 18 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A straight-up fair deal on D'Angelo Ponds at the 43rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
A wild overpay on Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 2, Pick 17, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Josiah Trotter at pick 75. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
They robbed the room for Kamari Ramsey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Deion Burks
A real head-scratcher, Deion Burks in the 90th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Jalon Kilgore while clear needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick112 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in the 112th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
A reach for Jalen Farmer in pick 149; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 5, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where DJ Harvey graded well above the range. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
