Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesD
FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Dolphins grade out a B-. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: T.J. Sanders, the Round 7 slot, roughly 213 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They will need Dolac to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In slot 25 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Shemar Stewart
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick48
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 48th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick94
Rnd3
Armand Membou
Somehow Armand Membou was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Taking Wyatt Milum in pick No. 104 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick 116 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dylan Fairchild in No. 135, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 150th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
They robbed the room for Alfred Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170
Rnd5
Xavier Restrepo
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Restrepo reach the 170th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173
Rnd5
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac in Round 5, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177
Rnd6
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 177th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179
Rnd6
Kain Medrano
They reached a country mile for Kain Medrano at No. 179, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick201
Rnd6
Kitan Crawford
Value said wait; Kitan Crawford in pick No. 201 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jack Bech
They barely believed it either: Jack Bech still on the board at slot 202. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
They talked themselves into Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Logan Brown
Circle this one: Logan Brown at pick 231 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Maxen Hook
This one needs a full-page explanation: Maxen Hook in the 241st pick, miles early. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253
Rnd7
T.J. Sanders
The board fumbled T.J. Sanders all the way to the 253rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255
Rnd7
Connor Colby
Connor Colby in No. 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
