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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Graham Mertz, 114 picks early at No. 252.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Dolphins indulged a want in Winston Jr. while a need in edge rusher stayed open. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 13 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reach for Alfred Collins in pick 48; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 98th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A want over a need in No. 115: Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A conviction pick on Pat Bryant at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Devin Neal
You do not let a running back like Devin Neal reach Round 5, Pick 12 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in the 226th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Value said wait; Trey Wedig in Round 7, Pick 15 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
Graham Mertz at pick 252 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
