Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 22 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in pick 54, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 116th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
A quiet steal in the 155th pick: McCallan Castles for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at slot 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams at No. 232 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
