Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 246th overall pick lands the Dolphins a B-, Whittington and all.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jordan Whittington, the No. 199 name on the board, in pick 246. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in No. 34, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in slot 85, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in pick 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 BJ Mayes
They took BJ Mayes at par in Round 5, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at the 203rd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Taking Jordan Whittington in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
