Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 76 picks early on J.J. Weaver, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Thomas Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton at pick No. 42 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 55th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They let Edgerrin Cooper come to them and pounced at the 59th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than Round 3, Pick 23 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick158 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Adams still on the board at slot 158. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They reached a country mile for Andrew Raym at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in pick 198 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at slot 241 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They will replay JD Bertrand at No. 247 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
