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

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 87 picks early on Fentrell Cypress II, and the board is going to hold them to it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milroe. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Nice patience on Mason Graham, who had no business lasting to the 13th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison in the 48th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in slot 98, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at No. 115 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in pick 135, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Milroe at Round 5, Pick 12 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
They read the board right and Oronde Gadsden II was the payoff at the 156th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in slot 226 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at pick 233 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
They reached into another round for Fentrell Cypress II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
