Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D-

NeedB-
TradesF
FutureB+
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Jackson Hawes in the 224th pick.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
They banked enough surplus on Harmon to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick48
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in slot 48, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 73 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93
Rnd3
Nohl Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Nohl Williams adds a cornerback and leaves wide receiver and running back untouched.
Pick116
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
No drama and no debate, Miles Frazier went about where he belonged in pick 116. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 4, Pick 33 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at No. 150 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
CJ West
They reached into another round for CJ West, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick223
Rnd7
Fadil Diggs
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fadil Diggs well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at pick No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
They paid a round early for Bilhal Kone in slot 231, more than the board wanted. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253
Rnd7
Kai Kroeger
They reached a country mile for Kai Kroeger at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
