Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

There is reaching, and then there is Taulia Tagovailoa at pick 241. The Dolphins jumped the board by 47 and dared it to prove them wrong. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Ja'Tavion Sanders
In pick No. 28 they get a mismatch in the passing game, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in No. 55. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A premium they did not need to pay, Brenden Rice a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They paid a round early for Trevor Keegan in pick 136, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
They talked themselves into Julian Pearl at No. 184, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
