Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureA
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Williams: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kyle Williams, the Round 7 slot, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The David Bakhtiari pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 23 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 48 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 34 is lovely value for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Good price on Jordan Phillips in the 115th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan James
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Jordan James worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Somehow Dillon Gabriel was still sitting there in No. 151, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at the 156th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 200 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
They barely believed it either: Alijah Huzzie still on the board at slot 226. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in Round 7, Pick 15 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Nothing to complain about; Brant Kuithe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in No. 252 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
