Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The needs board said one thing and the Dolphins did another, using slot 115 on Kevin Winston Jr. while edge rusher and linebacker waited.

They are betting Hawes proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 13th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 98 with a little surplus value in Malachi Moore. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kevin Winston Jr. at safety with edge rusher and linebacker open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A reach for Pat Bryant in the 135th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 151st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They took Logan Brown at par in pick 156, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 226 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at Round 7, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They paid a round early for Brady Cook in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
