Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Dart is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a B-.

The Dolphins spent the pick that matters most on Jaxson Dart, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Slater reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Hudson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 13th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at Round 2, Pick 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 98th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at slot 116 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Nothing to complain about; Jake Majors went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They did well to land Trevor Etienne in pick 150, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens is a better player than No. 224 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
They let Kobe Hudson come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 15. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
No drama and no debate, Cody Lindenberg went about where he belonged in pick 253. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
