Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Jonah Elliss at slot 55, roughly 35 spots before his name belonged. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

If Jordan Morgan and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick 21 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonah Elliss in Round 2, Pick 23, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick No. 184 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick198 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at No. 198 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A premium they did not need to pay, Kimani Vidal a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
