Draft Grade — Dolphins

Grand theft in Round 2, Pick 16: the Dolphins steal Emmanwori and grade out a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 19 name on the board, stolen at the 48th overall pick. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the 48th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at slot 98. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
They let Dillon Gabriel come to them and pounced at No. 135. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
No edge and no loss on Logan Brown in pick 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at pick No. 155 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They paid up for Desmond Watson at Round 7, Pick 8 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Shemar James
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Shemar James well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks slipping to slot 253 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
