Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Dolphins drew a line under the quarterback search with Mestemaker: A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Koi Perich tumbling to the Dolphins in pick No. 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They have staked the next five years on Drew Mestemaker, which is the only story that really matters here. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In slot 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick22 Rnd1 Drew Mestemaker
In pick 22 they get their quarterback of the future, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cam Coleman
They barely believed it either: Cam Coleman still on the board at pick 34. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Justin Scott
Taking Justin Scott in slot 56 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jamari Johnson
A tight end of that caliber at No. 66 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jordan Seaton
The board fumbled Jordan Seaton all the way to Round 3, Pick 11, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Raleek Brown
They took Raleek Brown at par in the 103rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Rasheem Biles
Circle this one: Rasheem Biles at pick No. 146 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mateen Ibirogba
A premium they did not need to pay, Mateen Ibirogba a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
By-the-book stuff, Drew Bobo at Round 6, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239 Rnd7 Koi Perich
Koi Perich at the 239th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick254 Rnd7 LJ McCray
A conviction pick on LJ McCray at the 254th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
