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

Nobody had Nathan Thomas this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 44 spots to get him at the 184th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 21st pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
A big swing on Sedrick Van Pran at pick 55, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 22 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathan Thomas. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in No. 198 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
They reached into another round for C.J. Hanson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
