Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Tyreak Sapp, taking him 65 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Downs that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 15 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
They took Tacario Davis at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Hykeem Williams
They paid sticker price for Hykeem Williams in the 79th pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Lander Barton
They went early on Lander Barton in the 97th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick No. 115 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 4, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tyreak Sapp
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyreak Sapp this early at pick 136. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ricardo Hallman
A reach for Ricardo Hallman in the 154th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Preston Hodge
They reached a country mile for Preston Hodge at slot 193, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
