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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Hayden Conner in the 231st overall pick, a good 37 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 13 they get a load in the middle, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A premium they did not need to pay, Alfred Collins a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 34. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 116th pick on Malachi Moore with edge rusher and linebacker unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Value said wait; Luke Kandra in No. 135 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick No. 150 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Raheim Sanders well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Hawes in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at the 231st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at pick No. 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
