Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Harold Perkins Jr. at the 92nd overall pick, roughly 40 spots before his name belonged. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

Muhammad at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Muhammad pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, with Sonny Styles leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 31 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot.
Pick48 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
They talked themselves into Dontay Corleone at the 48th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A straight-up fair deal on Domonique Orange at slot 75, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They will replay Keionte Scott at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90 Rnd3 Deion Burks
Deion Burks in pick No. 90 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick92 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 92nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
A tidy little value on Skyler Bell in slot 94, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick 109 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 112th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in Round 4, Pick 22 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malik Muhammad adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Somehow Jude Bowry was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at the 152nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at pick No. 171 squarely in line with his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
You do not let a tight end like Dae'Quan Wright reach No. 210 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Nwokobia went about where he belonged in pick No. 227. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick238 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at Round 7, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in the 243rd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
