Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A franchise passer in Ward headlines a B weekend for the Dolphins. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Oronde Gadsden II in slot 148. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They banked enough surplus on Williams to cover a lot of smaller sins. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In the 10th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore slipping to pick No. 98 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99
Rnd3
Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in the 99th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
They reached a country mile for Cobee Bryant at No. 111, and the board is aghast. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
The board had cheaper options than Jaeden Roberts at Round 4, Pick 17, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Samuel Brown
They read the board right and Samuel Brown was the payoff at No. 159. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Alfred Collins
Value said wait; Alfred Collins in slot 224 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A big swing on Shilo Sanders at the 249th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
