Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC- FutureA+
Grand theft in pick 252: the Dolphins steal Marks and grade out a B.

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Woody Marks, the No. 184 name on the board, sitting there at No. 252 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 24 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick98 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They let Chris Paul Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 98. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 115th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ozzy Trapilo reach the 118th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at No. 135 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 140 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick144 Rnd5 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
No drama and no debate, Jackson Slater went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 9. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 154th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King in the 156th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
The board fumbled JJ Pegues all the way to slot 214, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Taking Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 226 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Circle this one: Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 7, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They robbed the room for Akili Arnold here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick252 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They will replay Woody Marks at pick No. 252 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
