Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Carter from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Barrett Carter tumbling to the Dolphins in pick 149 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Rourke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 18 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 36th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 82 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke Kandra in slot 113. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
They let Maxwell Hairston come to them and pounced at No. 114. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the 149th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at Round 5, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
