B

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Dolphins should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If Ford pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Beebe steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.7 · Pick 39 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
They jumped the gun on Graham Barton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
Zach Frazier at the 53rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
Cooper Beebe in slot 90 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 84
They read the board right and Marist Liufau was the payoff at No. 94. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 157
A big swing on Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 181
A real head-scratcher, Jaylan Ford in pick 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Grayson Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 172
A quiet steal in pick No. 186: Grayson Murphy for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 207
A conviction pick on De'Corian Clark at the 199th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 203
Christian Jones is a better player than pick No. 214 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.19 · Pick 239 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 227
Nice patience on Jontrey Hunter, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 19. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
