Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C-

FutureB-
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Starks: C-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 26 name on the board, stolen at the 54th pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Nelson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
If Shavon Revel Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
Pick48
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
Value with a capital V on T.J. Sanders in slot 48, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at pick No. 51 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98
Rnd3
Joshua Farmer
They paid up for Joshua Farmer at the 98th pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 14, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King slipping to pick 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 150th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the 224th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick231
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at pick No. 231 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in No. 253 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
