Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Jack Pyburn, taking him 55 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Delp pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Scott pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 11 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 30 they get a mismatch in the passing game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson is a better player than the 43rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
Fair-plus on Chase Bisontis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
A big swing on Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 87, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Keionte Scott at cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
A real head-scratcher, Ted Hurst in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
The board fumbled Jude Bowry all the way to the 151st pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jack Pyburn
They reached a country mile for Jack Pyburn at Round 7, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238 Rnd7 Oscar Delp
They will replay Oscar Delp at the 238th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
