Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Dolphins reached some 44 spots for Garrett Dellinger, and value like that does not grow back.

On value alone, Farmer makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Ransom is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in No. 48, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A want over a need in pick No. 116: Lathan Ransom adds a safety while wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
No drama and no debate, Kurtis Rourke went about where he belonged in the 135th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at slot 150 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the 155th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 224th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 231, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in slot 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
