Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Some picks age like wine; Oronde Gadsden II at slot 155 will need to, sitting 39 spots clear of his grade. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The Parrish pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and edge rusher. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

That Marks pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th overall pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. at Round 2, Pick 16 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 78th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in pick 98. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at slot 116 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A curious use of pick No. 135. Quarterback and edge rusher needed the pick; a cornerback in Jacob Parrish did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They did well to land Ricky White III in pick 224, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Steal is underselling it; Woody Marks at the 231st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. It fills a real need, too.
