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

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Thor Griffith, 63 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in No. 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Fannin Jr. went about where he belonged in the 51st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 98 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach the 121st overall pick and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They paid up for Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 20 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 135th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Nice patience on Kurtis Rourke, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 12. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod in slot 189 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West at the 197th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Yarns well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A reach on Theo Wease Jr. in pick No. 231; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They reached a country mile for LaJohntay Wester at No. 232, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
