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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Hayden Conner, 37 picks ahead of schedule. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. However the rest shakes out, McCord at that price is a win they earned.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 13 they get a wrecking ball inside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid a round early for Alfred Collins in the 48th pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and linebacker to take Malachi Moore, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in pick 135 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
They reached a country mile for Kyle Williams at the 150th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A wild overpay on Raheim Sanders in slot 155, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at pick 224 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Conner this early at pick No. 231. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They liked Torricelli Simpkins III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 253rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
