Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Luke Kandra selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 40 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and linebacker still on the board.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Sanders at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick No. 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jack Bech
A reach for Jack Bech in the 54th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher and linebacker still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 80 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at the 87th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in Round 3, Pick 34 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They paid sticker price for Kyle McCord in pick No. 116, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 117th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with O'Donnell Fortune while clear needs at edge rusher and linebacker sat open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They talked themselves into Raheim Sanders at slot 150, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jackson Hawes well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at the 231st pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Travis in No. 253, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
