Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins found their guy under center in McCarthy: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Whatever J.J. McCarthy becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 55 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at pick 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 108th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They barely believed it either: Cole Bishop still on the board at pick No. 129. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
They let Jacob Cowing come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They paid sticker price for Jared Wiley in No. 158, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 167 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Nothing to complain about; Khristian Boyd went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A slide stopped in slot 198, with Cornelius Johnson worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at No. 241 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
