Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Kimani Vidal a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In No. 21 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid a round early for Michael Hall Jr. in the 66th pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent the 104th overall pick on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick138 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach on Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in pick No. 158. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at slot 184 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 198 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
