Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Dolphins let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Elijah Jones at slot 228 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin in the 35th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in pick 55. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in No. 93 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kalen King
They took Kalen King at par in the 135th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Taking Johnny Wilson in pick No. 158 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at slot 184 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick198 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They will replay Caedan Wallace at Round 6, Pick 23 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
The board fumbled Tahj Washington all the way to No. 224, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in the 228th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick241 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brevyn Spann-Ford. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
