Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 22 spots clear of his grade.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Dolphins indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 21st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in slot 71 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A wild overpay on Tykee Smith in No. 138, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Fair-plus on Kitan Oladapo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick184 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
No edge and no loss on Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They went early on Drake Nugent in the 198th pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
A reach for Miyan Williams in No. 241; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
