Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Dolphins this weekend: C-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

Reaching for Buchanan left real value on the table behind him. Getting Felton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

So much rides on Will Johnson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
The board had cheaper options than Alfred Collins at the 48th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Mukuba this early at Round 3, Pick 1. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Howard
Will Howard at pick 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick No. 135 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at slot 150 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
They went early on Seth McLaughlin in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson is a better player than pick 231 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
They paid a round early for Jaylin Smith in slot 253, more than the board wanted. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
