Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Walker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jalon Walker tumbling to the Dolphins in pick No. 48 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Ransom 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.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A curious use of pick 116. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Lathan Ransom did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 135 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at Round 5, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
A reach for Ty Robinson in the 155th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Jackson at No. 224, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in the 231st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A conviction pick on Torricelli Simpkins III at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
