Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Simpson in the fold, and a B for the Dolphins.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Dolphins committed. Ty Simpson is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Klubnik. The Barber reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get the arm they will build around. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Austin Barber
A real head-scratcher, Austin Barber in pick No. 37 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick68 Rnd3 Rod Moore
Rod Moore at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
The board had cheaper options than Domonique Orange at the 75th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Steal is underselling it; Cade Klubnik at No. 95 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Good price on Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 105, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III at pick 144 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamal Haynes well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
