Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C

TradesC-
FutureC+
The jury is out on the Dolphins. For now, C. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Dolphins reached some 238 spots for Kevin Jennings, and value like that does not grow back. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Howard. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
If Josh Simmons and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Josh Simmons
They paid sticker price for Josh Simmons in pick No. 13, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings at No. 44 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Tory Horton
A premium they did not need to pay, Tory Horton a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach pick 116 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Torricelli Simpkins III
A real head-scratcher, Torricelli Simpkins III in Round 4, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the 150th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Woody Marks
They talked themselves into Woody Marks at No. 151, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231
Rnd7
Will Howard
Will Howard in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Marques Sigle
A wild overpay on Marques Sigle in the 253rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
