Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Hayden Conner at pick 231 is 37 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. On value alone, Moore makes the weekend a net positive.

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
A reach on Walter Nolen in the 13th pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 34, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They reached a country mile for Luke Kandra at No. 135, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore is a better player than pick 150 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 155 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in Round 7, Pick 15 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 253 with a little surplus value in Theo Wease Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
