Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureA
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent the 116th pick on Sai'vion Jones, a name most had 26 spots down the list.
The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel at the Round 1 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to No. 49, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They took Zy Alexander at par in the 98th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Value said wait; Sai'vion Jones in Round 4, Pick 14 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Good price on Joshua Farmer in pick 119, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. is a better player than pick No. 127 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King in the 135th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in slot 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick153
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on O'Donnell Fortune. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
No edge and no loss on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 155; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick202
Rnd6
Upton Stout
They let Upton Stout come to them and pounced at the 202nd pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick224
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick231
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dante Trader Jr. in pick No. 231, and that is fine. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick253
Rnd7
Sam Brown Jr.
Sam Brown Jr. at Round 7, Pick 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
