Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Roman Hemby, 55 picks ahead of schedule.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Scott pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and linebacker.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wheatley.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 13th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot.
Pick24 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 24 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Akheem Mesidor in Round 2, Pick 11, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare in slot 53 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Julian Neal
A reasonable price with a little left over, Julian Neal in No. 84. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Keionte Scott in slot 87 leaves interior defensive lineman and linebacker for later.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Zakee Wheatley while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker sat open.
Pick111 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and linebacker to take D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick121 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
No edge and no loss on Trinidad Chambliss in the 121st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They paid up for Aamil Wagner at the 150th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A premium they did not need to pay, Pat Coogan a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They took Trey Zuhn III at par in pick 200, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at Round 7, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
