Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D
ValueC
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D. Somebody took the Dolphins to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A D that will need time and luck to look better.
The Ugwu reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Carson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the 28th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at No. 53. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at pick 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at slot 127 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Johnson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 161 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick186
Rnd6
Eric Watts
They went early on Eric Watts in the 186th pick, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A straight-up fair deal on JD Bertrand at No. 199, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208
Rnd6
Brian Ugwu
They talked themselves into Brian Ugwu at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
