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

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Aaron Lewis at slot 186 regardless, 102 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Chambers at that price is a win they earned. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick No. 22 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick54 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
No drama and no debate, Ja'Tavion Sanders went about where he belonged in the 54th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
A real head-scratcher, Gabe Hall in Round 5, Pick 23 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis in pick 186 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in No. 200 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick243 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They will replay Steele Chambers at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
