Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Walker: D+.

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

The Dolphins indulged a want in Burke while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Reaching for Fairchild left real value on the table behind him. Getting Walker where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons at the 14th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 48 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jayden Higgins. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in slot 90, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They jumped the gun on Zy Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A curious use of Round 4, Pick 14. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Denzel Burke did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ty Hamilton in the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
No edge and no loss on O'Donnell Fortune in No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick155 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A tidy little value on Logan Brown in slot 155, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in the 224th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 15, where Jordan Hancock graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick253 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
No drama and no debate, Zeek Biggers went about where he belonged in the 253rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
