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

The war room fell hard for Chimere Dike, and it showed at No. 155: 56 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Mukuba pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. With edge rusher and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 13 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 16. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in the 98th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
A want over a need in No. 116: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while edge rusher and linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Taking Kyle McCord in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A big swing on Raheim Sanders at the 150th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chimere Dike this early at the 155th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 224 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 231st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick253 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
