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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Dolphins took Chimere Dike at the 156th overall pick, roughly 46 spots before his name belonged.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and linebacker went begging. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr.. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 13th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid a round early for Alfred Collins in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at the 98th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 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.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slipping to pick 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Good price on Raheim Sanders in No. 151, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
Value said wait; Chimere Dike in No. 156 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 226th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at slot 233 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in the 252nd pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
