Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins let Henderson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. LaDarius Henderson had no business being available in No. 199, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Neyor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In pick 27 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection.
Pick53 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at slot 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaiah Neyor
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Neyor in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
Steal is underselling it; LaDarius Henderson at the 199th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They read the board right and J.J. Weaver was the payoff at No. 242. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
