Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Emmanwori: B-.

Call it larceny. Nick Emmanwori sat on the board until the Round 2 slot, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Slater has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 23 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 50th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Savion Williams
No drama and no debate, Savion Williams went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 23. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Nothing to complain about; Charles Grant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jared Wilson at pick 116. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Fair-plus on Jacob Parrish, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They paid up for Jackson Slater at pick No. 135 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd4 Kobe King
Value with a capital V on Kobe King in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
They let Kurtis Rourke come to them and pounced at slot 155. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at the 175th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 224th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick 253 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
