Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesD FutureA
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Barton from sliding. Grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Lander Barton slide 89 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Pegues reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at pick No. 48 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They read the board right and Mason Taylor was the payoff at the 98th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They paid sticker price for Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 14, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They robbed the room for Barrett Carter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at pick 151 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 158th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 226 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A tidy bit of business in the 233rd overall pick, where Seth McLaughlin graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 James Burnip
Somehow James Burnip was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier specialist value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
