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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Dolphins walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 48th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
