Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for KJ Jefferson, 53 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. With interior defensive lineman and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 13th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick No. 48 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at No. 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick115 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They robbed the room for Quinshon Judkins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 34 on Kevin Winston Jr. with interior defensive lineman and tight end unsolved.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 151 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to Round 5, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Karene Reid
You do not let a linebacker like Karene Reid reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
No edge and no loss on Clay Webb in pick No. 233; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
A real head-scratcher, KJ Jefferson in pick 252 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
