Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Reese from sliding. Grade: C.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Arvell Reese, the No. 7 name on the board, stolen at No. 75.

The Wade reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

If Arvell Reese and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick75 Rnd3 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare in the 89th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 90th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Germie Bernard
They barely believed it either: Germie Bernard still on the board at Round 4, Pick 11. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Monroe Freeling
Taking Monroe Freeling in pick 145 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at pick No. 160 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
You do not let a tight end like Tanner Koziol reach No. 165 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at slot 168 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick173 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at No. 173 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
No edge and no loss on Hykeem Williams in Round 7, Pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 227 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick241 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Value with a capital V on Shamar Easter in the 241st pick, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tosh Baker in the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King at the 249th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
This one needs a full-page explanation: Keaten Wade in pick No. 252, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
