Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Kyle McCord slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cost of the Yarns reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell is a better player than slot 48 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 51 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in slot 86. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at Round 3, Pick 34 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in pick No. 116 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They jumped the gun on Hollin Pierce, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at No. 135 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the 150th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 155th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
They talked themselves into Elijah Roberts at Round 5, Pick 20, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
They reached into another round for LaJohntay Wester, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at the 231st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 253 with a little surplus value in Theo Wease Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
