Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Nobody else had Jackson Hawes anywhere near pick 224. The Dolphins did, by 32 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 48th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They did well to land Darius Alexander in slot 98, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Parrish. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 135 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A conviction pick on Jah Joyner at pick 150 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 155th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A wild overpay on Jackson Hawes in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at pick 231 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James is a better player than Round 7, Pick 37 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
