Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Marks: B-.

Somebody in pick 224 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Woody Marks, the No. 193 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting Ratledge proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 13 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
No edge and no loss on Ashton Gillotte in slot 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick No. 116 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They took Malachi Moore at par in Round 4, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the 150th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They read the board right and Logan Brown was the payoff at pick 155. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in the 224th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They will replay Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the 231st pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Howard Cross III
Taking Howard Cross III in pick No. 253 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
