Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Dolphins never got to the one that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Hadden to cover a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In pick 21 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Worthy at No. 55 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the 158th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Value with a capital V on Kamal Hadden in the 184th overall pick, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick198 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A straight-up fair deal on Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They let Tylan Grable come to them and pounced at slot 241. A need, and now a little less of one.
