Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Every board in the league had Nugent lower, and that gap is the story. Fashanu at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 21 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick55 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in the 55th overall pick with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at slot 157 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at pick No. 186, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They paid up for Nathan Thomas at the 200th pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keaton Bills in Round 7, Pick 19. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
