Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Elijhah Badger, 43 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 48. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Winston Jr. in the 98th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle McCord at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A real head-scratcher, Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
The board had Malachi Moore higher than pick No. 150, and the safety fell to them anyway. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A wild overpay on Raheim Sanders in the 155th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at No. 224, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at the 231st pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijhah Badger this early at slot 253. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
