Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tykee Smith in the 124th overall pick, a good 36 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In the 31st pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They jumped the gun on Patrick Paul, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A wild overpay on Tykee Smith in pick 124, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 5, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A reach on Tahj Washington in No. 176; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 184th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at Round 6, Pick 23 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
They paid sticker price for Kalen DeLoach in pick No. 241, and that is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
