Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Wright from sliding. Grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dae'Quan Wright, the No. 181 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Kelly reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Ponds while a need in quarterback and interior defensive lineman stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Francis Mauigoa
In slot 12 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the 30th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They did well to land Akheem Mesidor in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A surprising call. With quarterback and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent No. 75 on D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Keionte Scott at cornerback with quarterback and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick90 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They robbed the room for Germie Bernard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the 92nd pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Iheanachor
They will replay Max Iheanachor at Round 3, Pick 30 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 112 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick130 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A reach on Isaiah World in pick 130; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nyjalik Kelly
Nyjalik Kelly in slot 151 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227 Rnd7 Harrison Wallace III
They read the board right and Harrison Wallace III was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Dae'Quan Wright
A tight end of that caliber at the 238th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
