Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent pick No. 116 on Jackson Slater, a name the board had a full 32 spots lower.

The Starks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick 48, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They read the board right and Charles Grant was the payoff at the 98th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the 99th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at pick No. 116, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
