Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 151 lands the Dolphins a B-, Horton and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Tory Horton slide 41 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Mauigoa proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Nothing to complain about; Jihaad Campbell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson slid further than he should have, and No. 98 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 115th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 151 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonas Sanker at the 226th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Taking Ja'Quinden Jackson in slot 233 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Francisco Mauigoa. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
