Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for LaDarius Henderson, 44 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

McKinstry falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 22 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board fumbled Kool-Aid McKinstry all the way to pick No. 55, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick157 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at Round 5, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the 160th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 186 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: LaDarius Henderson in pick 200, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in slot 239 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
