Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Grant: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kenneth Grant, No. 48, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Ransom pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, running back and other spots.

Reaching for Zabel left real value on the table behind him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 48th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Nice patience on Sebastian Castro, who had no business lasting to the 98th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 116 on Lathan Ransom with edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kyle McCord at No. 135. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nick Nash
No drama and no debate, Nick Nash went about where he belonged in pick 150. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Good price on O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 155, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
They barely believed it either: Caleb Rogers still on the board at the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thomas Fidone II. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in pick 253 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
