Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 239: the Dolphins steal Hunter and grade out a B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Dolphins never got to the one that mattered most.

The Powers-Johnson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Hunter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in Round 2, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They went early on Cooper Beebe in the 65th pick, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 87 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in pick 155. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 186th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
They barely believed it either: Jontrey Hunter still on the board at the 239th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
