Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 241: the Dolphins steal Johnson and grade out a B.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cornelius Johnson fell into pick 241. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will need Henderson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in pick No. 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at Round 4, Pick 26 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dwight McGlothern. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A quiet steal in slot 169: Sione Vaki for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 184th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 198th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 202nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
They robbed the room for Cornelius Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
