Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD FutureD
Mafah should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Phil Mafah got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at slot 252. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback and edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Hawes has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 13th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 23 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Mbow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at pick No. 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Denzel Burke adds a cornerback and leaves quarterback and edge rusher untouched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at pick 115 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 135th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Joshua Farmer in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at slot 156 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They robbed the room for KeAndre Lambert-Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in Round 7, Pick 34 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
