Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

Nobody had KeAndre Lambert-Smith this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 41 spots to get him at the 155th overall pick.

The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and linebacker. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McCord.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick No. 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 34, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malachi Moore adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and linebacker untouched.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kyle McCord at slot 135. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Raheim Sanders this early at pick 150. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
They talked themselves into KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 224th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Conner well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in pick 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
