Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. LaDarius Henderson at the Round 6 slot is 55 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Dixon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 21st overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They barely believed it either: Jordan Morgan still on the board at the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 5, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in slot 184 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick No. 198 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Steal is underselling it; Johnny Dixon at No. 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
