Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Joe Huber, taking him 77 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

With edge rusher and linebacker unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. However the rest shakes out, Howard at that price is a win they earned. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 13 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in the 48th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and linebacker untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Howard
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Will Howard for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They paid a round early for Pat Bryant in No. 135, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raheim Sanders in slot 150, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A big swing on Vernon Broughton at pick 155, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A wild overpay on Hayden Conner in Round 7, Pick 15, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joe Huber
Joe Huber in the 253rd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
