Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Coleman: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brandon Coleman, pick 158, roughly 55 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 21 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 55th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
They will replay Brandon Coleman at Round 5, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Taking Xavier Thomas in the 184th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in No. 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
No edge and no loss on Tyler Owens in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
