Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nick Emmanwori got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 48.

Every board in the league had Slater lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 16 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in the 98th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at the 116th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in slot 135 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke slipping to Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in pick No. 155 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
