Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Hunter Nourzad at pick No. 104 is 55 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Smith at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in the 35th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick55 Rnd2 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick 55 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 90 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Max Melton
They robbed the room for Max Melton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at the 104th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
Nothing to complain about; James Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick144 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Layden Robinson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick158 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the 158th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. in No. 184 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at pick 198 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick241 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
A conviction pick on LaDarius Henderson at the 241st pick that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
