Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureF
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a C+. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Dolphins reached some 216 spots for Keanu Koht, and value like that does not grow back. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Tyson. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
So much rides on Spencer Fano that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a building block for the line at fair value.
Pick30
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Makai Lemon
Circle this one: Makai Lemon at pick 43 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell at No. 75 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87
Rnd3
Drew Shelton
They paid a round early for Drew Shelton in slot 87, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Deven Eastern
They talked themselves into Deven Eastern at pick No. 94, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Dani Dennis-Sutton
Steal is underselling it; Dani Dennis-Sutton at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jordyn Tyson
Jordyn Tyson in the 130th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jermod McCoy
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Jermod McCoy in slot 133 leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick134
Rnd4
Colton Hood
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Colton Hood while clear needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick135
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
A curious use of the 135th pick. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Chris Johnson did not.
Pick136
Rnd4
Devin Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Devin Moore at cornerback with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick137
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bryce Lance in No. 137, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane at the 138th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tacario Davis adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick140
Rnd4
Charles Demmings
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Charles Demmings, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick151
Rnd5
VJ Payne
A big swing on VJ Payne at pick No. 151, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162
Rnd5
Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at Round 5, Pick 22 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at slot 173 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
Somehow CJ Daniels was still sitting there in the 174th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177
Rnd5
Genesis Smith
You do not let a safety like Genesis Smith reach the 177th pick and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick180
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They barely believed it either: Davison Igbinosun still on the board at No. 180. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick227
Rnd7
Keanu Koht
Keanu Koht at the 227th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Kaden Wetjen
They robbed the room for Kaden Wetjen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
