Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 224th pick on Phillip Webb a full 114 spots early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Gadsden II at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 13th overall pick they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 49 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 98 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They read the board right and Kevin Winston Jr. was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to Round 4, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 135 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in slot 150 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Willie Lampkin this early at the 155th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at Round 7, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at No. 231 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at the 253rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
