Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesB
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-. The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Tyreem Powell, 113 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
They banked enough surplus on Evans to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and running back went begging. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Malaki Starks while clear needs at edge rusher and running back sat open.
Pick54
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Deone Walker this early at the 54th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Will Howard
They liked Will Howard enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 87. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
A conviction pick on Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 102 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
A tidy bit of business in slot 135, where Dillon Gabriel graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150
Rnd5
Nick Nash
A straight-up fair deal on Nick Nash at the 150th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce slipping to pick 155 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in Round 5, Pick 21 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196
Rnd6
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at pick No. 224 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231
Rnd7
Tyreem Powell
They talked themselves into Tyreem Powell at No. 231, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick244
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A slide stopped in the 244th pick, with Isaac TeSlaa worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
The board had cheaper options than Hunter Wohler at pick 253, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
