Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureA-
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Reaching for Powers-Johnson left real value on the table behind him.
On value alone, Pritchett makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick53
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Roman Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
A reach on Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
The board had Nehemiah Pritchett higher than pick 156, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 165 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 186th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199
Rnd6
AJ Barner
They paid sticker price for AJ Barner in the 199th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
A conviction pick on Maurice Smith at the 239th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243
Rnd7
Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246
Rnd7
Steele Chambers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Steele Chambers at Round 7, Pick 26 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
