Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jackson Slater at pick No. 117 regardless, 31 picks early. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Getting Lachey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at slot 48 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 98th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick No. 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They jumped the gun on Logan Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 12. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A tidy little value on Nick Nash in slot 155, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They paid sticker price for Jermari Harris in pick No. 224, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
They barely believed it either: Luke Lachey still on the board at the Round 7 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They let Ja'Corey Brooks come to them and pounced at the 253rd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
