Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Dolphins.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tahj Washington in slot 239, a good 123 spots before the room expected him.

The Morgan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Hit on Chris Braswell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In the 27th overall pick they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in slot 53 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in pick No. 90, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid up for Kitan Oladapo at No. 155 when waiting would have done the job. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 186th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in Round 6, Pick 24 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
They talked themselves into Tahj Washington at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
