Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. KJ Jefferson at the 231st overall pick is 74 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

On value alone, Judkins makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 48 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They will replay Tate Ratledge at pick 98 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in No. 114, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They barely believed it either: Quinshon Judkins still on the board at the 133rd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach Round 5, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 154, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at pick 231, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Rashod Owens
They talked themselves into Rashod Owens at the 252nd pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
