Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Dolphins robbed the room for Weeks. Final grade: A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Whit Weeks, the No. 155 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Marques Sigle pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Will Echoles and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In the 27th overall pick they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jordan Seaton
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Seaton at pick No. 43 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jamari Johnson
Taking Jamari Johnson in slot 75 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They took Quincy Rhodes Jr. at par in No. 87, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ryan Coleman-Williams
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ryan Coleman-Williams in the 92nd pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Luke Montgomery
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 31, with Luke Montgomery worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
Value with a capital V on Sam Leavitt in pick 121, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127 Rnd4 LJ Martin
LJ Martin at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Circle this one: Raylen Wilson at pick No. 131 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in pick 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
You do not let a wide receiver like Brandon Inniss reach the 159th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Sheridan Wilson
Sheridan Wilson at slot 227 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Whit Weeks
They barely believed it either: Whit Weeks still on the board at Round 7, Pick 21. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
