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

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Dolphins to leave a draft.

Getting Ransom where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 13 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They let Derrick Harmon come to them and pounced at pick No. 41. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
