Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Dolphins torched the value chart for Carson Steele, taking him 85 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the 31st overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A curious use of slot 94. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A tidy little value on Elijah Jones in pick 124, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
No edge and no loss on Tykee Smith in pick No. 158; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 176th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Nugent this early at the 184th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick241 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Carson Steele well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
