Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB+ FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Matthew Jones at the 200th overall pick will need to, sitting 54 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The McCormick steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Good price on Graham Barton in the 35th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 55: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick64 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Isaiah Adams in the 133rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 5, Pick 21 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 186 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in Round 6, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 239 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
