Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Brade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Beau Brade at the 224th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Bortolini pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 21st pick they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry in No. 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in pick 123, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Isaiah Adams
They will replay Isaiah Adams at pick No. 184 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They reached into another round for Javontae Jean-Baptiste, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Beau Brade
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Beau Brade in the 224th overall pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Steal is underselling it; JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 21 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
