Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Hayden Conner at No. 231, roughly 36 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 13 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in slot 98. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the 116th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 135th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
No edge and no loss on Pat Bryant in pick No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They reached into another round for Raheim Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Hawes well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
