Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Emmanwori fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nick Emmanwori, the 48th pick, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at slot 48 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Nothing to complain about; Darius Alexander went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to the 116th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
No edge and no loss on Hollin Pierce in Round 4, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick No. 150 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne slipping to pick 155 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in No. 224 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They let Craig Woodson come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
By-the-book stuff, Tonka Hemingway at pick No. 253 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
