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

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 41 picks early on KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and the board is going to hold them to it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Dolphins indulged a want in Moore while a need in edge rusher and linebacker stayed open. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A straight-up fair deal on Alfred Collins at pick No. 48, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A curious use of the 116th pick. Edge rusher and linebacker needed the pick; a safety in Malachi Moore did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
The board had cheaper options than Luke Kandra at No. 135, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at Round 5, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the 155th pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A real head-scratcher, Jackson Hawes in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in pick No. 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at slot 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
