Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Dolphins, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Lew where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In pick 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
Pick49
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
By-the-book stuff, Gennings Dunker at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick62
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
Value with a capital V on A.J. Haulcy in No. 62, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick69
Rnd3
Antonio Williams
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 5 with a little surplus value in Antonio Williams. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Connor Lew
The board had Connor Lew higher than the 75th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 87 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Chandler Rivers
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Chandler Rivers in slot 94 leaves edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick111
Rnd4
Justin Joly
Justin Joly in the 111th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115
Rnd4
Carson Beck
A tidy bit of business in No. 115, where Carson Beck graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
They read the board right and Jaeden Roberts was the payoff at pick No. 149. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Domani Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick227
Rnd7
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at Round 7, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243
Rnd7
Antonio Kite
A quiet steal in slot 243: Antonio Kite for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick244
Rnd7
Josh Cuevas
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Cuevas at the 244th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
