Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 256 lands the Dolphins a B, Hudson and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kobe Hudson, Round 7, Pick 40, roughly 57 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 13 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in slot 98 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A tidy bit of business in No. 116, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa is a better player than the 135th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in the 150th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Terrance Ferguson in pick 155, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at Round 7, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Value with a capital V on Donovan Smith in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Circle this one: Kobe Hudson at pick No. 256 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
