Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Lacy: B+.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kyren Lacy, the No. 134 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 15. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Reaching for Frazier left real value on the table behind him. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 14th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A slide stopped in the 98th overall pick, with Denzel Burke worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Donovan Jackson reach pick No. 115 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 15 with a little surplus value in Tory Horton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at No. 135. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
No edge and no loss on Raheim Sanders in pick 151; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in slot 152, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 156th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A reach for Miles Frazier in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 233 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick No. 252 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
