Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Dolphins, and a C+ to match.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tahj Washington at pick 242 is 120 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick No. 21 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A wild overpay on Braden Fiske in the 53rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid a round early for Kitan Oladapo in the 158th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They talked themselves into Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at No. 199, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at slot 242 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
