Miami Dolphins

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

The Dolphins ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Boyd reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Kneeland.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.22 · Pick 22 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 21
In pick 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 30 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 73
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick No. 67 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 64
A clean, defensible pick in No. 68 with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 67
Ruke Orhorhoro in the 69th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
Steal is underselling it; Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Good price on Christian Jones in slot 137, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
They did well to land Jarrian Jones in the 140th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
A wild overpay on Khristian Boyd in the 152nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.7 · Pick 182 · Erick All · TE · rank 202
This one needs a full-page explanation: Erick All in slot 182, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 220
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
