Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Garrett Dellinger at slot 253 is 44 spots clear of where he belonged.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, McCord makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid up for Alfred Collins at pick No. 48 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 116 on Malachi Moore with edge rusher and linebacker unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They barely believed it either: Kyle McCord still on the board at slot 135. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A big swing on Raheim Sanders at pick 150, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 224th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 231st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 37, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
