Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Mason Reiger at pick No. 111 is 82 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton in Round 2, Pick 15 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Connor Lew
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Lew reach the 87th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 91 on Devin Moore with tight end unsolved.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 106th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason Reiger in No. 111, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly in the 120th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at Round 4, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 130, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They took Drew Allar at par in pick No. 147, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World slipping to the 151st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at slot 168 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in No. 187 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick189 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They did well to land Taylen Green in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in pick 197 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick220 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at No. 220 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
The board had cheaper options than Charles Demmings at pick No. 226, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 11 is lovely value for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
Owen Heinecke at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 238th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick249 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
No edge and no loss on Bryce Foster in slot 249; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They read the board right and Eli Heidenreich was the payoff at the 253rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in No. 254 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They paid a round early for Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
They jumped the gun on Tristan Leigh, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Braun well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
