Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Chimere Dike at Round 5, Pick 17 regardless, 56 picks early.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Dolphins indulged a want in Moore while a need in edge rusher and linebacker stayed open. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 13 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A conviction pick on Alfred Collins at No. 48 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in pick No. 98, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malachi Moore adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and linebacker untouched.
Pick135 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at the 135th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chimere Dike
A real head-scratcher, Chimere Dike in pick No. 155 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Hawes in Round 7, Pick 15, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Brady Cook
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brady Cook this early at the 253rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
