Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

The JJ Pegues pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 49 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rourke.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 13 they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A clean, defensible pick in pick 48 with a little surplus value in Jonah Savaiinaea. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A tidy little value on Joshua Farmer in No. 116, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 4, Pick 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They let Kurtis Rourke come to them and pounced at the 150th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick 155 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at pick No. 224 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 231st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in slot 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
