Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Zakhari Franklin, taking him 129 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 13th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 98 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Taking Dylan Fairchild in Round 4, Pick 14 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in pick 151, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A slide stopped in pick No. 156, with Oronde Gadsden II worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A big swing on Zakhari Franklin at the 226th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to slot 233, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 252nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
