Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Starks. Final grade: B-.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malaki Starks fell into the 48th pick.

The Alexander pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They robbed the room for Malaki Starks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zy Alexander at cornerback with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Howard
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Howard in slot 116. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in No. 135, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
