Draft Grade — Dolphins

Larceny in pick No. 135 lands the Dolphins a B, Ransom and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Lathan Ransom had no business being available in pick 135, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Alexander has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 13 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick No. 48 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Somehow Andrew Mukuba was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Lathan Ransom, a safety that was not the priority.
