Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB
The Dolphins robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Danny Stutsman, the No. 85 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot.

They will need Brosmer to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Castro pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 15th pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tate Ratledge at pick 48 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 98 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Maxwell Hairston in the 114th overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They let Luke Kandra come to them and pounced at slot 116. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
A surprising call. With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 133 on Sebastian Castro, a safety they were not short of.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick154 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
You do not let a linebacker like Danny Stutsman reach Round 5, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
They reached a country mile for Max Brosmer at pick No. 224, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in the 231st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They robbed the room for Jake Briningstool here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
