Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 39 picks early on Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenneth Grant at the 33rd pick is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at slot 48. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick86 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They did well to land Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 86, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A premium they did not need to pay, Jacob Parrish a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 155 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ty Hamilton this early at the 224th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at the 253rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
