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

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Jalen Travis, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Winston Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 13 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at pick No. 48 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 34 with a little surplus value in Darius Alexander. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Robinson a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at slot 155 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis in pick 253 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
