Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Dolphins let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: D+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took KJ Jefferson a full 72 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
On value alone, Mondon Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick No. 14 they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in the 98th pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A slide stopped in pick No. 115, with Jake Majors worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in Round 5, Pick 12 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at pick 156 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick184
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They barely believed it either: Smael Mondon Jr. still on the board at No. 184. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
They reached into another round for KJ Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Luke Elzinga
Somehow Luke Elzinga was still sitting there in slot 252, and they pounced on premier specialist value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
