Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Jahvaree Ritzie, taking him 36 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Emmanwori at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 13 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 16 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Value with a capital V on Tez Johnson in pick No. 116, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A clean, defensible pick in No. 121 with a little surplus value in Joshua Farmer. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Cobee Bryant in the 135th overall pick leaves quarterback and edge rusher for later.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 166th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at No. 174 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Woody Marks
The board fumbled Woody Marks all the way to the 217th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Jackson a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in slot 231 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They paid sticker price for Jermari Harris in pick 235, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They reached a country mile for Tonka Hemingway at the 236th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They talked themselves into Zeek Biggers at pick No. 239, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Jahvaree Ritzie at the 241st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A straight-up fair deal on LaJohntay Wester at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
