Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Dolphins steal Woodson and grade out a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Craig Woodson tumbling to the Dolphins in slot 253 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Kuithe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Dotson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A real head-scratcher, Darien Porter in slot 48 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Miles Frazier a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard at pick No. 116 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Mello Dotson while clear needs at edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick150 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, LeQuint Allen at No. 150. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They did well to land Andres Borregales in the 155th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ricky White III
They read the board right and Ricky White III was the payoff at the 224th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
They reached a country mile for Brant Kuithe at the 231st pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They barely believed it either: Craig Woodson still on the board at No. 253. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
