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

The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Tao Johnson, the No. 130 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 5 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Chaplin proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 11 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 43rd pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin at pick 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at slot 91 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Carson Beck
A tidy little value on Carson Beck in the 114th overall pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson in Round 5, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick197 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
A premium they did not need to pay, Rayshaun Benny a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ Harvey. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
