Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Jackson Hawes, 25 picks ahead of schedule. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 13th pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They did well to land Darius Alexander in pick No. 98, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at the 116th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at slot 135 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 150 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at pick No. 155 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Fair-plus on Kobe Hudson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
A wild overpay on Jackson Hawes in the 231st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
