Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Dixon: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Dolphins, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Dixon. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick 29 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick62
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 30. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick93
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in the 93rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at No. 158. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 164th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
A tidy little value on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 184th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
Daijun Edwards
They let Daijun Edwards come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201
Rnd6
Myles Cole
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 26 with a little surplus value in Myles Cole. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
A premium they did not need to pay, Drake Nugent a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
Taking Johnny Dixon in pick No. 218 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
