Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Hayden Conner a full 46 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Edwards pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 48 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Winston Jr. in the 98th pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at Round 4, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Value said wait; Ty Robinson in the 135th overall pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at No. 150 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the 155th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Taking Donovan Edwards in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
No edge and no loss on Zeek Biggers in No. 253; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
