Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
Grand theft in pick No. 231: the Dolphins steal Mickens and grade out a C+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Mickens pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They are betting Bryant proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 14 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at slot 48. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in the 135th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in Round 5, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
No edge and no loss on Tyler Baron in slot 155; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 174 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They paid sticker price for Desmond Watson in the 224th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens at pick 231 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They jumped the gun on Jaylin Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Teddye Buchanan. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
