Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Dolphins get a C+.

The Dolphins did not so much draft Oronde Gadsden II as overpay for him, 39 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

However the rest shakes out, Hunter at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the 48th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Parrish well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick No. 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slid further than he should have, and the 150th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 155 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
They barely believed it either: Jarquez Hunter still on the board at the 224th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at No. 231 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at Round 7, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
