Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Dolphins let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Ollie Gordon II slide 51 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Pegues pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 31st overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A straight-up fair deal on Aireontae Ersery at slot 49, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A slide stopped in pick No. 95, with Donovan Jackson worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slipping to No. 98 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Nice patience on Jaylin Noel, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 14. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Malachi Moore with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
They paid sticker price for Dillon Gabriel in the 135th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 151 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at pick 156, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 195th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach pick No. 226 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
The board had Theo Wease Jr. higher than the 233rd overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They took Jackson Hawes at par in Round 7, Pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
