Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 155 picks early on R.J. Oben, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Shough steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Donovan Jackson this early at the 48th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They reached into another round for Luke Kandra, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 117 with a little surplus value in Jordan Phillips. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Steal is underselling it; Ajani Cornelius at slot 151 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at slot 156 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A tidy bit of business in the 226th overall pick, where Jonas Sanker graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at pick No. 244 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 R.J. Oben
A wild overpay on R.J. Oben in No. 252, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
