Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Judkins from sliding. Grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Quinshon Judkins slides to the 151st pick, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at the 48th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
A wild overpay on Shemar Turner in pick No. 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 115th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 135 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Circle this one: Kyren Lacy at Round 5, Pick 17 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 226 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 233rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in slot 252 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
