Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Hartman reach set a tone the Dolphins could not shake: F.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Sam Hartman a full 44 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Kinchens pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with linebacker still on the board.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The McGlothern pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the 8th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 21 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
The board had Kool-Aid McKinstry higher than No. 38, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick55 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in slot 55 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick79 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Kamren Kinchens while clear needs at linebacker sat open.
Pick110 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 10 on Caelen Carson with linebacker unsolved.
Pick126 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing is a better player than pick 157 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Value with a capital V on Jha'Quan Jackson in the 186th pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 188 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 199 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cornelius Johnson at No. 200. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slipping to the 203rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at slot 239, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
