Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 15: the Dolphins steal Thornton Jr. and grade out a C. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Dont'e Thornton Jr. slide 58 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.
The Sanders reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Hit on Will Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 33, where Tyler Warren graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick48
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
They took Xavier Watts at par in slot 48, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at the 67th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in No. 104, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tez Johnson at the 116th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks is a better player than Round 4, Pick 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in slot 155, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 231st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Circle this one: Trevor Etienne at No. 253 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
Nice patience on Brandon Adams, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 40. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
