Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

Some picks age like wine; Tykee Smith at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 36 spots clear of his grade.

The McGlothern steal is the beam this whole class leans on. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In pick No. 31 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske in the 55th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A curious use of slot 94. Quarterback, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 158th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A conviction pick on Tahj Washington at No. 176 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at the 184th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick198 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They paid a round early for Drake Nugent in the 198th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A premium they did not need to pay, Kimani Vidal a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
