Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Dolphins torched the value chart for Graham Mertz, taking him 98 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Dike at that price is a win they earned. The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and linebacker still on the board. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 13 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A premium they did not need to pay, Alfred Collins a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Moore at pick No. 98, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and linebacker to take Kevin Winston Jr., a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tory Horton in the 135th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Raheim Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Addison West
A wild overpay on Addison West in slot 156, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in the 226th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They robbed the room for Chimere Dike here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
They talked themselves into Graham Mertz at the 252nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
