Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Rivers at No. 231, a reach of 136 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Williams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and linebacker. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in pick 48, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They read the board right and Charles Grant was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 34. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lathan Ransom in the 116th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A curious use of No. 135. Edge rusher and linebacker needed the pick; a cornerback in Nohl Williams did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 150th overall pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at No. 155 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in pick 224; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A big swing on Jalen Rivers at the 231st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
They did well to land Sam Brown Jr. in the 253rd pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
