Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody had Xavier Truss this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 45 spots to get him at No. 253. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Edwards value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 48th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Fair-plus on Ozzy Trapilo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in No. 98. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
By-the-book stuff, Nohl Williams at pick No. 116 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent pick 122 on Quincy Riley, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in pick 135, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 150th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 17, with Hollin Pierce worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They liked Carson Vinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 224th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Edwards at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Value said wait; Xavier Truss in pick No. 253 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
