Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The Dolphins bet big and early on RJ Oben, 55 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Armand Membou
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Armand Membou. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They let Jihaad Campbell come to them and pounced at pick No. 48. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter slipping to No. 89 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98
Rnd3
Devin Neal
The board had Devin Neal higher than pick 98, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jamaree Caldwell
They jumped the gun on Jamaree Caldwell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the 135th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Shough in No. 155. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
RJ Oben
RJ Oben at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211
Rnd6
CJ Dippre
They left a pile of value on the table to take CJ Dippre this early at pick 211. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A big swing on Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the 247th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Jalen Travis at slot 253 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
