Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 224th pick lands the Dolphins a B, Winston Jr. and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 224 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 13 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Fair-plus on Tyleik Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 98 with a little surplus value in Charles Grant. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They barely believed it either: Sebastian Castro still on the board at slot 116. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 135th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Circle this one: Anthony Belton at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Gunnar Helm in the 155th pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 7, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
The board fumbled Trevor Etienne all the way to the 231st pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Hawes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 7, Pick 40 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
