Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Torricelli Simpkins III. He came off 33 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Starks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ozzy Trapilo at pick 98. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Good price on Joshua Farmer in the 116th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They liked Luke Kandra enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 33. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at the 150th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in Round 5, Pick 17 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Nice patience on Jack Kiser, who had no business lasting to pick No. 198. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They reached a country mile for Torricelli Simpkins III at slot 231, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
No edge and no loss on Ty Hamilton in the 253rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
