Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Ford: D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Put together, it is a D+.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Jefferson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Ford falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J.J. McCarthy at pick 35 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Darius Robinson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick No. 55 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Value with a capital V on Kiran Amegadjie in Round 3, Pick 9, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick77 Rnd3 Kamari Lassiter
A quiet steal in slot 77: Kamari Lassiter for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at No. 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in pick No. 112 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick158 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They liked AJ Barner enough to skip the value, taking him in the 158th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in No. 162 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick164 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 164 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Sataoa Laumea
They robbed the room for Sataoa Laumea here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Gabe Hall in Round 6, Pick 23. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach slot 241 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
