Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B+.

The Dolphins torched the value chart for DeMonte Capehart, taking him 55 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

That Hopper pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 26 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
Value said wait; Aki Ogunbiyi in slot 158 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Taking Ty'Ron Hopper in the 186th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick220 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 220th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Sheridan Jones in pick 242, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
