Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Dolphins to a D-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent the Round 7 slot on Aaron Lewis, a name most had 56 spots down the list. Put together, it is a D-.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 7 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
No drama and no debate, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 57. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85
Rnd3
Braden Fiske
They took Braden Fiske at par in No. 85, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in the 108th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155
Rnd5
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 155 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186
Rnd6
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the 186th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Good price on Christian Jones in the 201st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
MJ Sherman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, MJ Sherman well ahead of where he belonged. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick241
Rnd7
Aaron Lewis
A big swing on Aaron Lewis at pick 241, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
