Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

They will need Barner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

However the rest shakes out, Hartman at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 14
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Kool-Aid McKinstry. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 28
In the 24th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 50
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at pick 48, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 60
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 56 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 61
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in No. 70. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 80
Christian Haynes at slot 79 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to the 107th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Donovan Edwards · RB · rank 103
Donovan Edwards at Round 4, Pick 14 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 185
They reached a country mile for AJ Barner at the 161st overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 180
Sam Hartman at slot 202 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 228
A slide stopped in pick No. 245, with Jabbar Muhammad worth more than the price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
