Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B-.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. JJ Pegues went at No. 155, a good 29 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Dumas-Johnson at that price is a win they earned. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
They let Ashton Jeanty come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 13. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick No. 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Nice patience on Sebastian Castro, who had no business lasting to pick 98. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
No edge and no loss on Denzel Burke in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick135 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emery Jones Jr. at slot 135 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in No. 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 155 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They read the board right and Jordan Hancock was the payoff at slot 224. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Good price on Jermari Harris in the 231st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Value with a capital V on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in Round 7, Pick 37, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
