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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Josh Newton tumbling to the Dolphins in pick No. 188 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Cohen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They let Brian Thomas Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick59 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
A tidy little value on Adisa Isaac in No. 59, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at slot 67 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A premium they did not need to pay, Beau Brade a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick158 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid up for Javion Cohen at the 158th pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 184 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Newton
A cornerback of that caliber at the 188th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick198 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
No edge and no loss on Julian Pearl in Round 6, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Value with a capital V on Nathan Thomas in the 241st pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
