Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 15 lands the Dolphins a B-, Taylor and all.

Somebody in pick 231 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Mason Taylor, the No. 78 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The Elzinga pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emery Jones Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They reached a country mile for Jackson Slater at pick No. 116, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Elzinga
A want over a need in the 135th overall pick: Luke Elzinga adds a specialist while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick144 Rnd5 Donovan Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Smith in the 144th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 LaJohntay Wester
Value said wait; LaJohntay Wester in No. 150 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at pick 231 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Justin Walley
A wild overpay on Justin Walley in pick 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
