Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Dolphins: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Jalen Rivers, 116 picks ahead of schedule.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Dolphins indulged a want in Winston Jr. while a need in edge rusher and linebacker stayed open.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 21 they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A conviction pick on Alfred Collins at pick No. 48 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 84 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
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 Chimere Dike
A tidy bit of business in the 116th overall pick, where Chimere Dike graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Luke Kandra well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at No. 150 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They reached a country mile for Raheim Sanders at pick No. 155, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 8 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They talked themselves into Hayden Conner at the 231st overall pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Rivers in pick 253, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
