Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Somebody took the Dolphins to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. The Watts pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quinyon Mitchell in slot 35. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jackson Powers-Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 53. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick66 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro slid further than he should have, and the 77th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 90 on Maason Smith with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Good price on Isaiah Adams in the 128th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 11, with Cam Hart worth more than the price. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 155 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at No. 186 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at slot 199 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ryan Watts at pick No. 239 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
