Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Dart is the Dolphins' new face under center. Grade: C+.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Barryn Sorrell, 147 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

That Fitzgerald pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Jaxson Dart is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

If Jaxson Dart and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In slot 13 they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in pick 48 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They will replay Tate Ratledge at pick No. 98 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick114 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
Nothing to complain about; Kyren Lacy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in Round 5, Pick 17 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at the 224th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in No. 252, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
