Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Joe Milton III in No. 158. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Jones pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 55th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They reached into another round for Braelon Allen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick 100 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at Round 5, Pick 3 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in the 158th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Cornelius Johnson at the 184th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathan Thomas this early at Round 6, Pick 23. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at No. 241 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
