Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in the 186th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while LaDarius Henderson, the No. 163 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

The Williams reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 31st pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
They read the board right and Bralen Trice was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 89. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A curious use of the 94th overall pick. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at slot 126 that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick158 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braelon Allen in Round 5, Pick 22. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in pick 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick No. 199 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 204th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 242 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
