Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 156: the Dolphins steal Lawson and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Deontae Lawson slide 75 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If Mills pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In No. 13 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Dylan Fairchild
They paid up for Dylan Fairchild at Round 2, Pick 16 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A wild overpay on Carson Beck in the 98th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rylie Mills this early at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 115th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 149, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at pick No. 156 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at pick 224 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nick Nash
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Nash. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jake Briningstool in pick 251, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
