Draft Grade — Dolphins

The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Marks: B.

When a board-topper like Woody Marks slides to slot 253, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea at the 48th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey in pick No. 98 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in pick 116, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Will Howard
Steal is underselling it; Will Howard at the 135th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
They will replay Joshua Farmer at slot 150 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Circle this one: Kyle McCord at Round 5, Pick 17 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach No. 224 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 231 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Woody Marks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Woody Marks in the 253rd overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
