Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins turned the phones into found money: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Dolphins were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The Guyton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The cost of the Jefferson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in slot 55 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Trey Benson
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the 90th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 137 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 157 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They barely believed it either: Chau Smith-Wade still on the board at Round 5, Pick 24. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick177 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in pick 186 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A edge rusher of that caliber at slot 200 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick218 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand slipping to pick 218 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 239 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
