Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Dolphins let Lawson fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Deontae Lawson got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at pick 91. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at pick No. 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They will replay Jake Slaughter at the 75th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in Round 3, Pick 19 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
The board fumbled Ja'Kobi Lane all the way to slot 87, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They read the board right and Caden Curry was the payoff at No. 111. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
A clean, defensible pick in the 149th pick with a little surplus value in J'Mari Taylor. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aamil Wagner. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 David Oke
They barely believed it either: David Oke still on the board at pick No. 166. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Steal is underselling it; Sawyer Robertson at the 194th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
