Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
Watts should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a C.

Call it larceny. Xavier Watts sat on the board until Round 3, Pick 22, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Hit on Mike Green and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Mike Green
In the 25th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 49th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nice patience on Aireontae Ersery, who had no business lasting to No. 58. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 15. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick86 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A slide stopped in pick No. 89, with Omarr Norman-Lott worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A tidy bit of business in slot 98, where Danny Stutsman graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick 100 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Slater this early at the 114th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
A real head-scratcher, Oluwafemi Oladejo in the 116th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick 119 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in Round 4, Pick 23 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick No. 135 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slid further than he should have, and No. 150 is lovely value for the quarterback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
They reached a country mile for Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at Round 5, Pick 17, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 158, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 224 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
They liked CJ Dippre enough to skip the value, taking him in the 231st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
They let Phil Mafah come to them and pounced at pick 236. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
