Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Higgins: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Dolphins, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

Higgins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 30 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at Round 2, Pick 16. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
They let Nic Scourton come to them and pounced at the 56th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in No. 63 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Phillips went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
They read the board right and Dillon Gabriel was the payoff at pick No. 135. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Value said wait; Jake Briningstool in the 156th overall pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Corey Brooks well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
You do not let a linebacker like Jay Higgins reach No. 231 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
A straight-up fair deal on LaJohntay Wester at slot 253, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
