Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Joe Huber at Round 7, Pick 34, a reach of 68 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher and linebacker open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The Winston Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 13th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A reach on Alfred Collins in Round 2, Pick 16; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malachi Moore. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A want over a need in pick No. 115: Kevin Winston Jr. adds a safety while edge rusher and linebacker keeps waiting.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slid further than he should have, and the 135th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Addison West
This one needs a full-page explanation: Addison West in No. 156, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at slot 226 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 15: Theo Wease Jr. for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick252 Rnd7 Joe Huber
A big swing on Joe Huber at the 252nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
