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

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 42 picks early on Keaton Bills, and the board is going to hold them to it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at No. 55 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanor Bortolini this early at pick No. 158. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They talked themselves into Evan Williams at pick 184, and the board did not agree. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198 Rnd6 Keaton Bills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaton Bills well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in the 241st pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
