Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureA
The Dolphins robbed the room for Bassa. Final grade: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 131 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 210. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Every board in the league had Zuhn III lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Malaki Starks
In pick No. 23 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that.
Pick50
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than pick 50, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 98th overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Fair-plus on Jake Majors, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in slot 133, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 149 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 154th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224
Rnd7
James Burnip
Circle this one: James Burnip at the 224th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231
Rnd7
Clay Webb
By-the-book stuff, Clay Webb at Round 7, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252
Rnd7
Karene Reid
Karene Reid in pick No. 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
