Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureA+
The Dolphins let King fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Kobe King had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 8, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

If Taylor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach the 48th pick and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They robbed the room for Tyleik Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Somehow Harold Fannin Jr. was still sitting there in slot 85, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick 98 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They will replay Tate Ratledge at the 115th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 135 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in Round 5, Pick 17 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Kobe King
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Kobe King in No. 226, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Circle this one: Damien Martinez at Round 7, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 James Burnip
James Burnip at pick No. 252 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
