Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for King. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kalen King got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 198. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
A real head-scratcher, Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 9 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They liked Ruke Orhorhoro enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 55. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
The board had Brandon Dorlus higher than pick 87, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
They let Ja'Lynn Polk come to them and pounced at the 91st overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in the 94th pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A clean, defensible pick in slot 124 with a little surplus value in Tyler Davis. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Nice patience on Cedric Gray, who had no business lasting to pick No. 126. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Newton in the Round 4 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Good price on Kitan Oladapo in slot 160, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick161 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A tidy little value on Sione Vaki in No. 161, a step better than break-even. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 198th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
