Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Malik Verdon in the 253rd pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Starks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to pick No. 48, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A quiet steal in pick 98: Charles Grant for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Nothing to complain about; Quinn Ewers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 14, with Xavier Restrepo worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A tidy bit of business in No. 119, where Zy Alexander graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach slot 135 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They took Nick Nash at par in the 150th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 155th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Jackson this early at No. 193. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
No drama and no debate, Desmond Watson went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 15. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Malik Verdon
A wild overpay on Malik Verdon in pick No. 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
