Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Starks: C.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Malaki Starks, the No. 28 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 57.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Yarns lower, and that gap is the story.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 13 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Good price on Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach pick No. 57 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They let Carson Schwesinger come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 34. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slid further than he should have, and No. 116 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick 122 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the 150th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the 155th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick224 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at slot 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They read the board right and Jamon Dumas-Johnson was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Nice patience on Ty Hamilton, who had no business lasting to No. 253. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 256th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
