Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: D-.

Somebody took the Dolphins to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Simon to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Landing Evans that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and wide receiver is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson is a better player than the 13th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T.J. Sanders at pick 48 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 61 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at slot 135 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A conviction pick on Jah Joyner at the 150th pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans slipping to No. 155 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
A quiet steal in the 231st overall pick: Phil Mafah for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 253 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
