Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Dolphins this weekend: B+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 109 is 48 spots clear of where he belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Royals to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in the 49th overall pick, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
They let Benjamin Morrison come to them and pounced at No. 59. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick91 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at pick 91, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They paid a round early for Jackson Slater in No. 135, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles in pick 138 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
This one needs a full-page explanation: JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 9, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick No. 150 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 155th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the 231st overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at slot 253 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
