Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Neal should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

Somebody in Round 5, Pick 12 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Devin Neal, the No. 84 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need Mertz to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 13 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 48th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at slot 98 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick114 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with edge rusher open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jack Bech
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 133rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Devin Neal
The board fumbled Devin Neal all the way to pick 149, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 17, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 224 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick No. 231 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A wild overpay on Graham Mertz in the 252nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
