Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesA FutureB
The Dolphins let Anthony fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Daijahn Anthony slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Ogunbiyi pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They paid up for Patrick Paul at the 37th pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at pick No. 53 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the 69th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick 139 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A big swing on Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at Round 6, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at No. 199 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at slot 239 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
