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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Carson Schwesinger, the 98th pick, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Kandra proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The Zak Zinter pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart slipping to slot 33 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at No. 48 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 98 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 116th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They talked themselves into Luke Kandra at pick 135, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A quiet steal in the 150th pick: Mello Dotson for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Fair-plus on Nick Nash, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A slide stopped in No. 179, with Jake Briningstool worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They went early on Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 8, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Corey Brooks at the 231st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
No drama and no debate, Ty Hamilton went about where he belonged in pick No. 253. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
