Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Dart, and a B-, for the Dolphins.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jonas Sanker, the No. 136 name on the board, stolen at pick 253.

Every board in the league had Lampkin lower, and that gap is the story. Jaxson Dart gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Castro while a need in edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in slot 48, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tory Horton
They went early on Tory Horton in Round 3, Pick 34, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Willie Lampkin
They reached into another round for Willie Lampkin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Sebastian Castro while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tai Felton
They will replay Tai Felton at No. 150 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
Circle this one: Xavier Restrepo at slot 155 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick No. 224 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in pick 231 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
They barely believed it either: Jonas Sanker still on the board at the 253rd overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
