Brooks should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Tahj Brooks sat on the board until pick 224, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The Lampkin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Mason Graham · DT · rank 6
Mason Graham in pick 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Shavon Revel Jr. · CB · rank 28
A cornerback of that caliber at the 48th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 70
Taking Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 98 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Luke Kandra · OG · rank 104
Nice patience on Luke Kandra, who had no business lasting to slot 114. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.32 · Pick 133 · Kevin Winston Jr. · S · rank 90
A want over a need in the 133rd pick: Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.12 · Pick 149 · Willie Lampkin · OG · rank 165
Willie Lampkin at Round 5, Pick 12 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.17 · Pick 154 · Chris Paul Jr. · LB · rank 112
The board fumbled Chris Paul Jr. all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.8 · Pick 224 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 111
Steal is underselling it; Tahj Brooks at No. 224 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.15 · Pick 231 · Jamon Dumas-Johnson · LB · rank 186
You do not let a linebacker like Jamon Dumas-Johnson reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.36 · Pick 252 · Jackson Hawes · TE · rank 218
Jackson Hawes in the 252nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
