Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Dolphins, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Crumedy value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

The Ed Ingram deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. The Chambers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in the 66th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Javon Baker
By-the-book stuff, Javon Baker at No. 90 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
The board had Isaiah Adams higher than the 137th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick 157 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They went early on Steele Chambers in slot 183, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at pick No. 197 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
They let Jaden Crumedy come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 21. The roster logic is harder to follow.
