Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureC+
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Marshawn Kneeland at the Round 3 slot, a reach of 33 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Mayes.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 35 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They did well to land Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at Round 3, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at No. 90, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 92 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in Round 4, Pick 32, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
No drama and no debate, Joe Milton III went about where he belonged in the 158th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 186 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Ethan Driskell worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick220 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
They took Isaiah Neyor at par in pick 220, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
By-the-book stuff, Nathaniel Watson at slot 242 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing BJ Mayes in No. 247. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
