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

The war room fell hard for Hayden Conner, and it showed at pick No. 231: 37 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and linebacker went begging.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 48th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A curious use of pick 116. Edge rusher and linebacker needed the pick; a safety in Malachi Moore did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They reached into another round for Luke Kandra, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Pat Bryant. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in No. 155 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Hawes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in pick 231, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in the 253rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
