Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 111: the Dolphins steal Viliamu-Asa and grade out a A.

Call it larceny. Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 11, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Justin Scott
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Justin Scott reach No. 51 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jamari Johnson
The board fumbled Jamari Johnson all the way to pick No. 75, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trevor Lauck
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 87th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Charlie Becker
Somehow Charlie Becker was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa
They will replay Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa at the 111th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Myles Graham
They barely believed it either: Myles Graham still on the board at pick 149. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Eric Singleton Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Eric Singleton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
