Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent pick 98 on Connor Colby, a name most had 83 spots down the list.

That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in the 48th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Connor Colby
They talked themselves into Connor Colby at pick 98, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They will replay Brashard Smith at the 150th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the 155th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. in pick No. 224 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in the 231st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at No. 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
