Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C+
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesD+
FutureB
The Dolphins landed square in the muddy middle: C+. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Dolphins did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.
Norman-Lott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Bryant pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
Hit on Shavon Revel Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In slot 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick48
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A reach for Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 16; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jihaad Campbell in pick 51. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at No. 87 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116
Rnd4
Miles Frazier
They paid sticker price for Miles Frazier in the 116th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick No. 135 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore slid further than he should have, and the 150th pick is lovely value for the safety. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick155
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 155 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick224
Rnd7
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at pick 224 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They did well to land Carson Vinson in slot 231, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at Round 7, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
