Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: C-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Vernon Broughton at slot 155 is 31 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Hit on Armand Membou and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Armand Membou
By-the-book stuff, Armand Membou at the 13th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
No drama and no debate, Donovan Ezeiruaku went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 68th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lathan Ransom at pick No. 116 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They reached into another round for Luke Kandra, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A tidy little value on Kurtis Rourke in Round 5, Pick 5, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 150th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick155 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A real head-scratcher, Vernon Broughton in pick 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach for Isaac TeSlaa in the 224th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A wild overpay on Teddye Buchanan in Round 7, Pick 15, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
They jumped the gun on Marcus Yarns, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
