Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Connor Colby, taking him 34 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took TeSlaa. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In No. 17 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 48 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at slot 116 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan James
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan James at pick 135. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A real head-scratcher, Connor Colby in the 150th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A slide stopped in the 153rd pick, with Kurtis Rourke worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They went early on Ryan Fitzgerald in Round 5, Pick 17, and the value did not follow. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Good price on Robert Longerbeam in pick No. 224, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 253rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
