Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Ferguson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in pick No. 226 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Terrance Ferguson, the No. 121 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Rourke lower, and that gap is the story.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker is a better player than the 48th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The board fumbled Andrew Mukuba all the way to pick 115, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
The board had cheaper options than Kurtis Rourke at slot 135, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at pick No. 151 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Taking Terrance Ferguson in No. 226 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 James Burnip
You do not let a specialist like James Burnip reach Round 7, Pick 15 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick252 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin slipping to pick No. 252 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
