Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The phones were a trap the Dolphins kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

They are betting Fairchild proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 48 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A wild overpay on Dylan Fairchild in slot 77, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Howard
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Howard. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Farmer in the 116th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in pick No. 135 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at pick 144 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 12. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick155 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
They liked RJ Harvey enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 17. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No drama and no debate, Cam Jackson went about where he belonged in pick 224. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the 231st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253 Rnd7 John Williams
A conviction pick on John Williams at pick No. 253 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
