Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Addison West, 40 picks ahead of schedule.

The McCord steal is the beam this whole class leans on. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 13 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 49 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 98th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Lathan Ransom adds a safety while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A quiet steal in pick 124: Tory Horton for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
The board had cheaper options than Raheim Sanders at the 135th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Logan Brown. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Addison West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Addison West well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at slot 156 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A big swing on Jack Kiser at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in Round 7, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Chimere Dike in the 233rd overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in pick No. 252 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
