Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins torched the value chart for Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him 47 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

James falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in Round 2, Pick 16 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They let Danny Stutsman come to them and pounced at pick No. 98. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrance Ferguson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at slot 135. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jordan James
The board fumbled Jordan James all the way to No. 150, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
You do not let a cornerback like Mello Dotson reach the 155th overall pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Nothing to complain about; Ricky White III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick253 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in pick No. 253 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
