Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Dolphins walked right past. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Harmon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Steal is underselling it; Derrick Harmon at No. 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Frazier this early at Round 3, Pick 34. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A premium they did not need to pay, Riley Leonard a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick 135 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They took Andres Borregales at par in pick No. 150, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 155th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Value with a capital V on Jordan Hancock in the 224th overall pick, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Desmond Watson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 253 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
