Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Monheim to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Mukuba at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The Mukuba pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 13th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Value with a capital V on Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A conviction pick on Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 87 that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A want over a need in pick 98: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick116 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 116 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They liked Pat Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 33. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
No edge and no loss on Tyler Baron in No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in the 155th pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
They paid sticker price for Jermari Harris in the 224th overall pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
A straight-up fair deal on Bilhal Kone at pick 231, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
No drama and no debate, Ty Hamilton went about where he belonged in No. 253. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
