Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Dolphins let Dixon fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Johnny Dixon got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at Round 7, Pick 19. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Anderson lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They paid up for Brandon Dorlus at slot 66 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at pick No. 90 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick184 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They robbed the room for Walter Rouse here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach the 239th overall pick and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 241 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at slot 255 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
