Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Branch: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Dolphins, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

With edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Branch pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
The board had Garrett Nussmeier higher than pick 48, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Colton Hood
A straight-up fair deal on Colton Hood at No. 66, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
No drama and no debate, Deontae Lawson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
A want over a need in pick No. 106: Xavier Scott adds a cornerback while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jack Endries
By-the-book stuff, Jack Endries at the 108th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
They took Charles Jagusah at par in pick No. 117, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at Round 4, Pick 37 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick 146 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Rasheem Biles
You do not let a linebacker like Rasheem Biles reach slot 220 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
