Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins left with their quarterback, and a A to match.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Rasheem Biles tumbling to the Dolphins in No. 167 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A.

CJ Carr is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 CJ Carr
In pick 28 they get a franchise quarterback, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Matayo Uiagalelei
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matayo Uiagalelei in Round 2, Pick 3. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Steal is underselling it; Trey'Dez Green at Round 2, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
They barely believed it either: A'Mauri Washington still on the board at slot 67. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Greg Johnson reach the 92nd overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Sammy Brown
Sammy Brown in the 104th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 LJ Martin
They went early on LJ Martin in pick No. 105, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at pick 167 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
No edge and no loss on Drew Bobo in No. 182; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jacob Ponton
They took Jacob Ponton at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Maraad Watson
Maraad Watson at pick 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen at the 255th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
