Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Miles Frazier at the Round 4 slot regardless, 105 picks early.

The Kiser pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at the Round 2 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Fair-plus on Gunnar Helm, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 115: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Pat Bryant in pick No. 151. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They read the board right and Raheim Sanders was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 17. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in the 233rd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger in the 252nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
