Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody had Dominique Hampton this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 50 spots to get him at Round 6, Pick 9. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Landing Johnson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In slot 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Austin Booker
They jumped the gun on Austin Booker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in pick No. 104 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 138th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
A wild overpay on Dominique Hampton in the 184th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
A slide stopped in slot 198, with Cornelius Johnson worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They paid a round early for Kimani Vidal in pick 241, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
