Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Larceny in Round 5, Pick 15 lands the Dolphins a B-, Bowman Jr. and all.

When a board-topper like Billy Bowman Jr. slides to No. 153, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Mukuba reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 13 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They liked Darius Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 85. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at the 119th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 153 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
