Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Helm. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Gunnar Helm tumbling to the Dolphins in the Round 4 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Lampkin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Azareye'h Thomas, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in No. 98 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in pick 119, and they pounced on premier tight end value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 135 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Rivers
They liked Jalen Rivers enough to skip the value, taking him in the 150th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They reached a country mile for Willie Lampkin at slot 155, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A reasonable price with a little left over, JJ Pegues in the 193rd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 224 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Vinson at No. 231, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 John Williams
A reach on John Williams in pick 253; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
