Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent the Round 7 slot on Elijhah Badger, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 13 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 16, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in pick No. 78, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with edge rusher and linebacker open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 116 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on O'Donnell Fortune. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
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. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Conner well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijhah Badger in the Round 7 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
