Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Smith: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Smith tumbling to the Dolphins in slot 232 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The cost of the Sturdivant reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at slot 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ashton Gillotte
A reach on Ashton Gillotte in the 59th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 90th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 98 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 99 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Benjamin Morrison
They reached a country mile for Benjamin Morrison at Round 4, Pick 13, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Joshua Gray
A real head-scratcher, Joshua Gray in pick 126 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan White
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan White this early at the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick152 Rnd5 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at the 152nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tim Smith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tim Smith well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They robbed the room for Donovan Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick249 Rnd7 Denver Harris
No drama and no debate, Denver Harris went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
