Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Tyler Shough at slot 98 is 41 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Castro steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nice patience on Omarion Hampton, who had no business lasting to the 48th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 3, Pick 34 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick No. 115 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Circle this one: Tory Horton at pick 135 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mitchell Evans in slot 156. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick226 Rnd7 CJ West
They read the board right and CJ West was the payoff at the 226th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A tidy little value on Jabbar Muhammad in pick 233, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick252 Rnd7 Nick Martin
Nick Martin at No. 252 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
