Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Graham Mertz in the 252nd overall pick, a good 114 spots before the room expected him. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Paul Jr. at that price is a win they earned. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in Round 1, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A premium they did not need to pay, Alfred Collins a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach slot 98 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with edge rusher open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They went early on Pat Bryant in the 135th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 158 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
A wild overpay on Chimere Dike in pick No. 183, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick226 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at slot 226 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Value said wait; Jackson Hawes in the 233rd overall pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached into another round for Trey Wedig, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Graham Mertz well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
