Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Max Brosmer at No. 231 is 70 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Value with a capital V on Will Johnson in the 13th pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 98 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They will replay Donovan Jackson at pick No. 116 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kevin Winston Jr. still on the board at No. 135. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at Round 5, Pick 12. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jackson Slater at pick No. 155 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
A wild overpay on Gino Garcia in Round 7, Pick 8, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer at pick 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
A real head-scratcher, Francisco Mauigoa in the 253rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley in No. 256 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
