Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a A-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Joshua Braun; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 46 spots ahead at the 239th overall pick. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lew.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
The board had Eli Stowers higher than slot 63, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They barely believed it either: Omar Cooper Jr. still on the board at No. 84. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore in pick No. 95 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A clean, defensible pick in the 109th pick with a little surplus value in Michael Trigg. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at Round 4, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in slot 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in Round 5, Pick 31 is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Somehow Ted Hurst was still sitting there in the 197th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They paid up for Zxavian Harris at pick 210 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
A conviction pick on Jeff Caldwell at No. 212 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Raylen Wilson at pick No. 220, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
A premium they did not need to pay, Charles Demmings a notch or two before his time. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 229th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
They reached a country mile for Nolan Rucci at pick 231, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
They talked themselves into Logan Taylor at Round 7, Pick 19, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tristan Leigh. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
A wild overpay on Joshua Braun in No. 239, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
