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

There is reaching, and then there is Graham Mertz at the 252nd overall pick. The Dolphins jumped the board by 98 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The Winston Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and linebacker still on the board. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Winston Jr..

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They paid sticker price for Walter Nolen in pick No. 13, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 48th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 115 on Kevin Winston Jr. with edge rusher and linebacker unsolved.
Pick135 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
A premium they did not need to pay, Raheim Sanders a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
A big swing on Chimere Dike at the 151st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They let Logan Brown come to them and pounced at the 156th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at the 226th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A reach on Clay Webb in pick No. 233; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
They left a pile of value on the table to take Graham Mertz this early at pick 252. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
