Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureA-
The Dolphins let Belton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Belton, the 151st overall pick, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 22nd overall pick they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in pick No. 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A slide stopped in the 67th pick, with Isaiah Bond worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Nice patience on Donovan Jackson, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 30. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They let Denzel Burke come to them and pounced at pick 98. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaylin Noel at the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots to take Kevin Winston Jr., a safety that was not the priority.
Pick124 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Will Howard
Circle this one: Will Howard at No. 135 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at pick No. 156 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 6, Pick 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick226 Rnd7 Sam Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Sam Brown at slot 226, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 233rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 252nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
