Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Hayden Conner went at slot 231, a good 40 picks before the board was ready. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

With edge rusher and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a load in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kevin Winston Jr. while clear needs at edge rusher and linebacker sat open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle McCord. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick 135 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
No drama and no debate, Pat Bryant went about where he belonged in pick No. 150. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 8, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
A reach for Brandon Adams in the 253rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
