Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins bet the future on Dart. The board says B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jaxson Dart is the Dolphins' quarterback, full stop.

Every board in the league had Gregory lower, and that gap is the story. Landing Fortune that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in Round 2, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Fairchild at pick 98, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 135 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 150th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
A market-rate specialist, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ryan Fitzgerald. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
You do not let a linebacker like Jack Kiser reach the 224th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Eric Gregory
Value said wait; Eric Gregory in Round 7, Pick 15 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek in the 253rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A conviction pick on Shilo Sanders at No. 256 that the board grades a round light. A minor need, but a need all the same.
