Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Chimere Dike. He came off 56 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The McCord pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 13 they get a load in the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 98 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and linebacker to take Malachi Moore, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Steal is underselling it; Kyle McCord at Round 4, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They reached into another round for Raheim Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chimere Dike. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A big swing on Jackson Hawes at slot 224, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in No. 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They paid sticker price for Torricelli Simpkins III in the 253rd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
