Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Dolphins let Phillips fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Andru Phillips sat on the board until the 186th pick, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders is a better player than Round 3, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at the 95th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick158 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Layden Robinson at No. 158, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
The board fumbled Andru Phillips all the way to slot 186, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A tidy little value on Jaylen Harrell in the 199th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jennings. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A slide stopped in pick 255, with Tatum Bethune worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They did well to land Devin Leary in Round 7, Pick 36, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
