Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The Elijhah Badger pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 42 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and linebacker went begging. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 48 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They took Andrew Mukuba at par in Round 3, Pick 14, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher and linebacker still to address, they spent No. 98 on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They paid sticker price for Kyle McCord in pick 116, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at the 135th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on O'Donnell Fortune. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 155 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in slot 224, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
They reached a country mile for Elijhah Badger at the 253rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
