Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Restrepo. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Restrepo, the 155th overall pick, roughly 49 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 13th pick they get a true top target. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in pick No. 48 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Nice patience on Gunnar Helm, who had no business lasting to slot 98. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
They robbed the room for Quinn Ewers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Somehow Anthony Belton was still sitting there in the 135th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Parrish at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick155 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Restrepo reach pick 155 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at Round 7, Pick 8 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Simeon Barrow Jr.. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Taking Phil Mafah in No. 253 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
