Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Grant Gunnell a full 150 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Flax pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 21 they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick69 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
They took Justin Rogers at par in No. 158, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A straight-up fair deal on Ethan Driskell at the 183rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Barrett in the 186th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
By-the-book stuff, De'Corian Clark at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in Round 6, Pick 45 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick242 Rnd7 Grant Gunnell
Grant Gunnell at the 242nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jeremy Flax
They let Jeremy Flax come to them and pounced at No. 247. It fills a real need, too.
