Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Restrepo fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Xavier Restrepo, the No. 105 name on the board, stolen at slot 155. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Slater has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach No. 48 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jackson Slater
They reached a country mile for Jackson Slater at the 98th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They let Jordan Phillips come to them and pounced at slot 116. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 135 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick155 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick 155 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in the 224th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 231st pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in Round 7, Pick 37 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
