Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Nelson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in pick 224 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Jack Nelson, the No. 176 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 13th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyleik Williams in slot 48. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They let Savion Williams come to them and pounced at the 98th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 116 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Circle this one: Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 33 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jeffrey Bassa in No. 150, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 155 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Antwane Wells Jr. at No. 231 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
The board fumbled Robert Longerbeam all the way to slot 253, and they scooped it up. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
