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

There is reaching, and then there is Matthew Jones at No. 241. The Dolphins jumped the board by 30 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
No edge and no loss on Ricky Pearsall in Round 2, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 128 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick158 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
The board had cheaper options than Javion Cohen at pick No. 158, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
They went early on Delmar Glaze in the 184th pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
By-the-book stuff, Julian Pearl at slot 198 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in No. 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
