Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Kingsley Eguakun a full 57 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

However the rest shakes out, McGlothern at that price is a win they earned. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Solomon pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In slot 27 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick No. 55 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 158th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They robbed the room for Dwight McGlothern here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 23 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kingsley Eguakun. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
