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

The Dolphins bet big and early on Hayden Conner, 40 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Felton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Winston Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 20 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 48 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 19 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of the 98th pick. Edge rusher and linebacker needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton slipping to the 116th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A real head-scratcher, Luke Kandra in pick No. 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in pick 150, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Value said wait; Raheim Sanders in slot 155 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Hawes well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in No. 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A big swing on Brady Cook at the 253rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
