Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Dolphins walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Castro at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 13th pick they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
They let Sebastian Castro come to them and pounced at slot 98. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in pick 116, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in Round 4, Pick 33 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
The board had Kurtis Rourke higher than pick No. 150, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 155th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in No. 224 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Corey Brooks. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at the 253rd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
