Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Ben Sinnott at the 85th pick, roughly 58 spots before his name belonged.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Ulofoshio falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Avonte Maddox pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in pick 23. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 53rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 3, Pick 22 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 97 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
They paid sticker price for Sincere Haynesworth in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at No. 163 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 5, Pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl at No. 186 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick199 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at pick 199, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Mark Perry
A straight-up fair deal on Mark Perry at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick242 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa is a better player than the 242nd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
