Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

The Taulia Tagovailoa pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 96 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Jordan steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Good price on Jared Verse in pick 21, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 55 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Taulia Tagovailoa
A real head-scratcher, Taulia Tagovailoa in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 186th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell slipping to the 200th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Taking Jawhar Jordan in No. 239 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
