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

Nobody had Jelani Thurman this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 44 spots to get him at No. 227. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Scott steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Tae Johnson
Circle this one: Tae Johnson at pick 43 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
By-the-book stuff, A.J. Harris at pick No. 75 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nick Marsh
They paid sticker price for Nick Marsh in No. 87, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
No drama and no debate, Sam Leavitt went about where he belonged in the 90th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Justin Scott
Taking Justin Scott in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Elijah Rushing
Value with a capital V on Elijah Rushing in slot 149, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jelani Thurman
A big swing on Jelani Thurman at pick 227, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
