Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Jordan James slide 102 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

The Dolphins paired the rookies with proven help, Tytus Howard leading the way.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at Round 2, Pick 16, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in slot 80, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in pick 86, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A straight-up fair deal on Ajani Cornelius at the 98th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
They liked Daylen Everette enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 107. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sai'vion Jones well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in No. 115, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 133rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 154th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at pick No. 179 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick218 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in Round 7, Pick 2 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Taking Lander Barton in slot 224 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 231st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
