Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Brashard Smith, the No. 103 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 224th pick.

If Jefferson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 13 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at the 48th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Circle this one: Josh Conerly Jr. at Round 3, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Warren at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in pick 115, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in the 149th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 156 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in the 231st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
