Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins let McNeil-Warren fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Dolphins ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

That McNeil-Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Rutledge reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots went begging.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
In No. 28 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In pick No. 30 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
A reach for Max Iheanachor in the 38th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43 Rnd2 Zion Young
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Young. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick59 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, D'Angelo Ponds adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots untouched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They will replay Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at Round 3, Pick 11 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Sarratt at pick No. 87. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in slot 90: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Davison Igbinosun while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They took Drew Allar at par in Round 5, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fa'alili Fa'amoe in the 227th pick, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Jalen Huskey in the 238th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick243 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at pick 243 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
