Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueC NeedB TradesD FutureB-
The Dolphins did enough to get by: C.

The Dolphins looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jimmy Horn Jr. at slot 231 regardless, 101 picks early.

The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Adding Trey Smith by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Hit on Grey Zabel and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at pick No. 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 48 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in the 91st pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 98th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
A wild overpay on Sai'vion Jones in Round 4, Pick 14, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jonas Sanker
They took Jonas Sanker at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
A real head-scratcher, Jonah Monheim in slot 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cam Miller
They reached a country mile for Cam Miller at pick 150, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
A quiet steal in the 155th pick: Quincy Riley for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick206 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac TeSlaa well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They talked themselves into Jackson Hawes at the 224th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at No. 231 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
