Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Thornton Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Dont'e Thornton Jr. had no business being available in pick No. 231, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Slater proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 17th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams is a better player than pick 49 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 98, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at Round 4, Pick 14 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at slot 135 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A big swing on Elijah Roberts at the 150th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at No. 155 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They read the board right and Alijah Huzzie was the payoff at the 224th pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A tidy little value on Sam Brown Jr. in Round 7, Pick 37, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
