Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Cam Miller at pick No. 149, roughly 116 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Henderson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 13 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 36 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They paid a round early for Luke Kandra in Round 3, Pick 34, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 133 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Miller
A wild overpay on Cam Miller in the 149th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick154 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 154th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
