Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Bertrand: B-.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and JD Bertrand fell into the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 21st pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 55 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
Value with a capital V on Kris Jenkins in pick 66, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A quiet steal in the 158th overall pick: Nehemiah Pritchett for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Good price on Khristian Boyd in No. 184, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cornelius Johnson at slot 198. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at Round 7, Pick 21 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
