Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Keaton Bills at the Round 6 slot is 42 spots clear of where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 21 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at slot 55 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at pick No. 158 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drake Nugent in the 184th overall pick, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
They reached a country mile for Keaton Bills at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
They paid up for LaDarius Henderson at Round 7, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
