Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The war room fell hard for Quincy Riley, and it showed at the 135th overall pick: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Rourke at that price is a win they earned.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 13th overall pick they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at slot 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They paid a round early for Joshua Farmer in No. 98, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Good price on Billy Bowman Jr. in the 116th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
Value said wait; Quincy Riley in pick No. 135 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
No edge and no loss on Luke Kandra in Round 5, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at No. 155 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at the 224th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A quiet steal in slot 253: Mac McWilliams for less than the market said. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
