Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Elijhah Badger, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Felton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at pick 48 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 78th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 98th overall pick on Kevin Winston Jr. with edge rusher and linebacker unsolved.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle McCord. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tai Felton in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Value said wait; Luke Kandra in Round 4, Pick 33 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A quiet steal in pick No. 150: Malachi Moore for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They reached into another round for Raheim Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 224th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at the 231st pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at pick 253 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
