Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 90 on Drew Allar a full 57 spots early. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Stowers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 11th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II at Round 1, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Johnson in slot 43. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They did well to land Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in pick 75 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They let Jacob Rodriguez come to them and pounced at pick No. 87. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 90th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in slot 92 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Austin Barber
They paid sticker price for Austin Barber in No. 94, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A reach on DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 12; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 130, where Mike Washington Jr. graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A tidy little value on Beau Stephens in pick 151, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
They talked themselves into Jack Kelly at the 227th overall pick, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
