Draft Grade — Dolphins

ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Wells Jr.: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Antwane Wells Jr., the No. 195 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 224.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. McLaughlin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at the 48th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sebastian Castro at Round 3, Pick 34. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at No. 135 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 150 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mitchell Evans at slot 155 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at the 224th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A tidy little value on Carson Vinson in slot 231, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at No. 253 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
