Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Jabbar Muhammad pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 30 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Restrepo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
The board had cheaper options than Wyatt Milum at No. 48, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 98 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A tidy bit of business in pick 116, where Xavier Restrepo graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Value said wait; Luke Kandra in the 135th overall pick says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A slide stopped in slot 150, with Hollin Pierce worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Fair-plus on Trevor Etienne, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the 224th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A conviction pick on Isaac TeSlaa at No. 231 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at the 253rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
