Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

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

The Colby pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

On value alone, Winston Jr. makes the weekend a net positive.

Hit on Josh Conerly Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 23 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reach on Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 16; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 83 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
No drama and no debate, Zy Alexander went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to pick 116, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in No. 123 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the 135th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Good price on Logan Brown in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A wild overpay on Connor Colby in the 155th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They read the board right and Jordan Hancock was the payoff at pick No. 224. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at No. 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre at pick 253 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
