Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Jackson Hawes went at the 197th pick, a good 63 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Ferguson makes the weekend a net positive. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 14 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 16 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 98 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 116th overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for JJ Pegues. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 155 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick189 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A reach on Joshua Gray in slot 189; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Hawes well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in the 224th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
