Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Dolphins' weekend. D+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Amari Kight. He came off 296 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Put together, it is a D+.

The Loveland value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Amari Kight
In pick 13 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 98th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bhayshul Tuten. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached a country mile for Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 135, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at pick No. 150 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tre Williams
A wild overpay on Tre Williams in No. 155, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
They reached into another round for Moose Muhammad III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop at the 231st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick253 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White at pick 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
