Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Gordon II: B.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Ollie Gordon II, the No. 164 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback and edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They are betting Gadsden II proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 14 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at pick 48 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tate Ratledge at slot 80. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A reach on Jordan Phillips in the 98th pick; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot leaves quarterback and edge rusher for later.
Pick116 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 116th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 4, Pick 34 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Nice patience on Pat Bryant, who had no business lasting to pick No. 151. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A big swing on Oronde Gadsden II at No. 156, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 226 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Taking Alijah Huzzie in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in Round 7, Pick 34 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
