Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Chidozie Nwankwo, 160 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

However the rest shakes out, Mondon Jr. at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that.
Pick58 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They did well to land Marcus Mbow in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
The board had Mason Taylor higher than the 89th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and pick 98 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to No. 116, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They will replay Luke Kandra at the 135th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in No. 155 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick 166 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 231st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick253 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Clay Webb at the 253rd pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Chidozie Nwankwo
Chidozie Nwankwo at Round 7, Pick 40 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
