Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB+
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Powers-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
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 pick 28 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 54 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Roman Wilson at the 75th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109
Rnd4
Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser in the 109th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in slot 155 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186
Rnd6
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in Round 6, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick199
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 199 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
They went early on Jordan Magee in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at the 208th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
