Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Emmanwori: B.

Call it larceny. Nick Emmanwori sat on the board until the 48th overall pick, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Booker has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in slot 48, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nothing to complain about; Aireontae Ersery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at pick 98. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Skattebo in the 116th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slipping to pick No. 150 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in No. 155 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby is a better player than the 191st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Karene Reid
The board had Karene Reid higher than No. 224, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the 231st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in slot 253 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
