Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureB
Winston Jr. should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a D. The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Brown proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
That Winston Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In pick 14 they get a potential shutdown corner. More want than need.
Pick48
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than No. 48, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Good price on Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 74, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 98th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the 116th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick118
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in slot 118 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 135 on Jacob Parrish with edge rusher and tight end unsolved.
Pick140
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A reach for Logan Brown in No. 140; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Shough in the 150th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
They took Damien Martinez at par in pick No. 155, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at pick 224 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231
Rnd7
Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 37 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
