Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Jha'Quan Jackson sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Nugent pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in No. 57, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at the 125th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in slot 158 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
A wild overpay on Drake Nugent in pick No. 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Evan Williams a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
You do not let a wide receiver like Jha'Quan Jackson reach the 241st pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
