Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Dolphins did enough to get by: C+.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Julian Pearl, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. However the rest shakes out, Dixon at that price is a win they earned. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Suamataia. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick55 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
No edge and no loss on Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the 106th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid a round early for Layden Robinson in pick 158, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick173 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
A big swing on Julian Pearl at pick No. 173, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 184th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Nice patience on Johnny Dixon, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 23. A minor itch, scratched.
