Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Demmings fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Charles Demmings, the No. 151 name on the board, stolen at pick 227.

Payne has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Payne pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II slipping to slot 43 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 75th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They will replay Caleb Tiernan at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keylan Rutledge at pick 90 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Circle this one: Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 94 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 VJ Payne
A want over a need in the 130th overall pick: VJ Payne adds a safety while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick151 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Steal is underselling it; Oscar Delp at Round 5, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
You do not let a cornerback like Charles Demmings reach the 227th overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick238 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Somehow Sawyer Robertson was still sitting there in pick No. 238, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
