Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, 53 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Winston Jr. while a need in edge rusher stayed open. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Simon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at No. 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in slot 98 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent pick No. 115 on Kevin Winston Jr., a safety they were not short of.
Pick135 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A conviction pick on Pat Bryant at Round 4, Pick 34 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
They liked Damien Martinez enough to skip the value, taking him in the 151st pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Circle this one: Cody Simon at the 156th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They reached into another round for Jackson Hawes, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 233, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at pick 252 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
