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

The Chris Braswell selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 23 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 1, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Tavion Sanders. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They left a pile of value on the table to take Braden Fiske this early at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They liked Kitan Oladapo enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 155. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 186 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They jumped the gun on Tanor Bortolini, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Value said wait; Walter Rouse in pick No. 239 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
