Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Fitzgerald fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 107 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 224.

They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
No edge and no loss on Malaki Starks in No. 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
A conviction pick on Dylan Fairchild at the 39th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 71, where Alfred Collins graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A slide stopped in the 114th pick, with Luke Kandra worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at slot 149, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to Round 5, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, Ryan Fitzgerald in pick 224, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
