Fins1981 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins

Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesD+
FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-. The war room fell hard for Joshua Braun, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 47 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In No. 29 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick30
Rnd1
Omar Cooper Jr.
In pick 30 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
A conviction pick on Caleb Tiernan at Round 2, Pick 11 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in pick No. 75, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Sam Roush
No edge and no loss on Sam Roush in the 87th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
They jumped the gun on Nicholas Singleton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92
Rnd3
Michael Trigg
The board had cheaper options than Michael Trigg at Round 3, Pick 28, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ted Hurst this early at No. 94. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
The board had Ja'Kobi Lane higher than the Round 4 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 120 with a little surplus value in Mike Washington Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130
Rnd4
Isaiah World
A reach for Isaiah World in the 130th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in slot 151 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A reach on Domani Jackson in the 162nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick221
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
A wild overpay on Bryce Foster in pick 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Logan Taylor in No. 226, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238
Rnd7
Joshua Braun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Braun well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
