Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
A-

TradesA+
FutureA+
A passer of the future in Allar, and a A-, for the Dolphins. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Akheem Mesidor at the Round 7 slot is 71 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Drew Allar is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Ramsey steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
The Dolphins indulged a want in Nwokobia while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in Round 1, Pick 21, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at No. 37 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Isaiah World
They took Isaiah World at par in slot 47, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick61
Rnd2
Daylen Everette
No drama and no debate, Daylen Everette went about where he belonged in the 61st overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick79
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Somehow Kamari Ramsey was still sitting there in pick 79, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
They let Ja'Kobi Lane come to them and pounced at the 84th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85
Rnd3
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
By-the-book stuff, Charles Jagusah at pick No. 115 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Isaiah Nwokobia
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Isaiah Nwokobia while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick154
Rnd5
Darius Taylor
The board had Darius Taylor higher than No. 154, and the running back fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 160th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick193
Rnd6
Taylen Green
Taylen Green is a better player than slot 193 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Akheem Mesidor well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234
Rnd7
James Williams
James Williams at Round 7, Pick 18 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250
Rnd7
Alex Birchmeier
A tidy little value on Alex Birchmeier in the 250th pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
