Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureA
The Dolphins robbed the room for Means. Final grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Bub Means sat on the board until the 239th overall pick, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Nugent to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa is a better player than slot 55 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in pick No. 69. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Mahogany at the 71st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson slipping to the 90th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
A reach on Drake Nugent in Round 5, Pick 1; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Foster at No. 139 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 162. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick200 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in slot 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bub Means
Circle this one: Bub Means at pick 239 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
