Draft Grade — Dolphins

Larceny in Round 7, Pick 37 lands the Dolphins a B, Moss and all.

Call it larceny. Le'Veon Moss sat on the board until pick No. 251, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

If Wedig pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 11th pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in pick No. 47, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach No. 98 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dillon Gabriel
They reached into another round for Dillon Gabriel, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Connor Colby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Connor Colby well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 157th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at slot 225 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
A wild overpay on Trey Wedig in slot 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Somehow Le'Veon Moss was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 37, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
