Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 231st overall pick on Jackson Hawes a full 25 spots early. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Moore value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 48th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Fair-plus on Darius Alexander, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 116 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A real head-scratcher, Luke Kandra in the 135th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 150 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
They paid sticker price for Jah Joyner in the 155th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Vinson. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in pick 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 253, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
