Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins land in the muddy middle: C-.

Nobody else had Xavier Nwankpa anywhere near the 43rd pick. The Dolphins did, by 203 spots, and that gap is the whole story. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

Mendoza falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Isaiah World
In pick 11 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Christen Miller
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christen Miller in the 30th overall pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Nwankpa. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Fernando Mendoza
The board fumbled Fernando Mendoza all the way to the 75th pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emmett Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jack Endries
A wild overpay on Jack Endries in slot 90, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II in the 94th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at pick No. 130 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
A straight-up fair deal on Skyler Gill-Howard at Round 5, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. at slot 227 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at pick 238 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
