Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Caleb Ransaw a full 52 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at Round 2, Pick 16 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle McCord. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Luke Kandra. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A big swing on Raheim Sanders at No. 150, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Caleb Ransaw
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caleb Ransaw this early at pick 155. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Fair-plus on Theo Wease Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
