Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for JJ Pegues. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

However the rest shakes out, Thornton Jr. at that price is a win they earned. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 24 they get a seam-stretching tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They paid sticker price for Charles Grant in the 98th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
The board had Jalen Milroe higher than the 115th pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 4, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached into another round for JJ Pegues, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A tidy bit of business in the 151st overall pick, where Cody Simon graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
No edge and no loss on Damien Martinez in slot 156; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Jackson this early at the 185th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick226 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 233 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Circle this one: Ja'Corey Brooks at Round 7, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
