Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

It is a puzzling start. The Dolphins had quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to solve and reached instead for Kalen King, a cornerback, at the 53rd overall pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, King makes the weekend a net positive.

The Raym reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 21 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kalen King
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Kalen King while clear needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
Pick155 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
A clean, defensible pick in the 155th pick with a little surplus value in Javion Cohen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Raym this early at the Round 6 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid a round early for Christian Jones in pick No. 199, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at slot 239 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
