Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Paul Jr.. Final grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Chris Paul Jr., the No. 88 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 154. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The cost of the Webb reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in slot 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
You do not let a tight end like Elijah Arroyo reach the 98th pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A quiet steal in No. 114: Cam Skattebo for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in pick No. 133 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
The board fumbled Dillon Gabriel all the way to pick 149, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at the 224th overall pick that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaishawn Barham in the 231st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 252 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
