Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Dolphins: C+.

Call it larceny. Savion Williams sat on the board until the Round 4 slot, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

If Milroe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 13 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in No. 48 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 98th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Circle this one: Sebastian Castro at slot 116 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in pick 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They did well to land Trevor Etienne in No. 155, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at Round 7, Pick 8 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in the 231st overall pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They talked themselves into Donovan Smith at pick No. 253, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
