Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Mukuba: B-.

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Andrew Mukuba, the No. 84 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If Ewers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
They did well to land Will Johnson in pick No. 13, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick48 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Quinn Ewers in the 48th pick, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Hollin Pierce
A big swing on Hollin Pierce at Round 3, Pick 34, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson slipping to No. 116 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 135 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at slot 150 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They talked themselves into Connor Colby at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the 224th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at the 231st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They robbed the room for Cam Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
