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

The Dolphins torched the value chart for Chimere Dike, taking him 56 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and linebacker went begging. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 13 they get a wrecking ball inside, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 48 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Kevin Winston Jr. at the 98th pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malachi Moore at safety with edge rusher and linebacker open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They paid up for Luke Kandra at Round 4, Pick 33 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 150th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at pick No. 155 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They reached a country mile for Jackson Hawes at the 224th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in No. 231 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in the 253rd pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
