Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Robertson should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Sawyer Robertson got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Reaching for Trigg left real value on the table behind him. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In pick No. 4 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reach for Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 5; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in slot 68 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A clean, defensible pick in the 75th pick with a little surplus value in Michael Taaffe. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Zakee Wheatley, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick105 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A real head-scratcher, Michael Trigg in No. 105 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick144 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
You do not let a quarterback like Sawyer Robertson reach pick 218 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
