Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Raheim Sanders had no business being available in No. 224, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 13th pick they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They will replay Derrick Harmon at pick No. 48 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Donovan Jackson in the 98th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Somehow Mason Taylor was still sitting there in pick 116, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They barely believed it either: Sebastian Castro still on the board at No. 135. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at Round 5, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick224 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach slot 224 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaac TeSlaa in pick 253, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at slot 256 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
