Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Kyren Lacy, 47 picks ahead of schedule. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Starks. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
So much rides on Tyler Warren that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the 27th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in the 37th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick49
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Derrick Harmon in pick 49, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick54
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at Round 2, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick62
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in No. 62, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at slot 87 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker in pick No. 94 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They took Jared Wilson at par in slot 98, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dillon Gabriel in pick 104, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
A straight-up fair deal on Anthony Belton at Round 4, Pick 6, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at the 121st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slipping to the 124th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick129
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in No. 129 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
A big swing on Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Nothing to complain about; Logan Brown went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Que Robinson
They talked themselves into Que Robinson at the 155th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
Good price on JJ Pegues in Round 6, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 224th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Somehow Caleb Ransaw was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick244
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyren Lacy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijhah Badger well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
