Draft Grade — Dolphins

Robertson should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B-.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Sawyer Robertson, the No. 187 name on the board, in slot 218.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Dolphins indulged a want in Wheatley while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. Every board in the league had Koziol lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
No drama and no debate, Francis Mauigoa went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 4. It fills a real need, too.
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Antonio Williams. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Nothing to complain about; Michael Taaffe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A surprising call. With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 95 on Zakee Wheatley, a safety they were not short of.
Pick105 Rnd4 Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes in the 105th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A premium they did not need to pay, Tanner Koziol a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
They will replay Sawyer Robertson at pick 218 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
