Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
Wilson should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Jared Wilson, the No. 102 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 135th pick.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Booker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line, a steep price for the projection.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No drama and no debate, Alfred Collins went about where he belonged in the 51st pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Value with a capital V on Deone Walker in No. 98, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
No edge and no loss on Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 116; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to the 135th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in slot 150, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
By-the-book stuff, Tommi Hill at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
They let R.J. Mickens come to them and pounced at the 224th pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They took Cam Jackson at par in Round 7, Pick 15, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Hawes at pick 253, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
