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

When a board-topper like Nick Emmanwori slides to the 48th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The cost of the Powell-Ryland reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the 13th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at pick No. 48. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Phillips in slot 116. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in the 135th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They paid a round early for Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 150, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy bit of business in pick 155, where Logan Brown graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alijah Huzzie at the 231st pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
