Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Keaton Bills at pick 198 regardless, 42 picks early.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In slot 29 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in the 55th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 158 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 164 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at No. 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
Value said wait; Keaton Bills in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Steal is underselling it; Ro Torrence at the 205th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Good price on Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
