Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Taylor fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Roc Taylor had no business being available in No. 252, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Reaching for Conner left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaxson Dart in pick No. 48. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A quiet steal in the 98th pick: Denzel Burke for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick 115 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 135th overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 5, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 156 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They paid up for Jake Briningstool at No. 226 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at Round 7, Pick 15 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the 252nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
