Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent No. 198 on C.J. Hanson, a name the board had a full 66 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That Burton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Patrick Ricard pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They reached a country mile for Sedrick Van Pran at slot 55, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick61 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A safety of that caliber at the 61st pick is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Taking Jermaine Burton in pick No. 93 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kalen King
Steal is underselling it; Kalen King at Round 5, Pick 22 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They will replay Chau Smith-Wade at the 164th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick184 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
A wild overpay on Keaton Bills in slot 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 C.J. Hanson
A real head-scratcher, C.J. Hanson in the 198th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 241 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
