Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Woodson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Craig Woodson slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at No. 253. Highway robbery.

If Kuithe pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. It is not that Dotson is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darien Porter well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
They liked Miles Frazier enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 98. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Mello Dotson at cornerback with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick150 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Value with a capital V on LeQuint Allen in the 150th overall pick, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in the 155th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ricky White III at No. 224 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brant Kuithe. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
