Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

Some picks age like wine; Chimere Dike at the Round 5 slot will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

It is not that Moore is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On value alone, Moore makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They went early on Alfred Collins in the 48th overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 98 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Malachi Moore, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King at pick No. 135 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
A tidy little value on Raheim Sanders in No. 150, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in the 155th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jackson Hawes this early at pick 224. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They paid up for Clay Webb at pick No. 231 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in slot 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijhah Badger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
