Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Ben Sinnott, and it showed at pick 53: 90 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

So much rides on Kool-Aid McKinstry that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 21st pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
By-the-book stuff, Sincere Haynesworth at the 158th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Value said wait; Trevor Keegan in pick 186 says they were not listening. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 199 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Caleb Murphy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Caleb Murphy in slot 242, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
