Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Martinez: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Damien Martinez, the No. 162 name on the board, stolen at the 226th pick.

They will need Griffith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In slot 13 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to No. 50, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They read the board right and Mason Taylor was the payoff at the 98th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 115th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 135 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick137 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach pick 137 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mello Dotson in Round 5, Pick 17. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick226 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Steal is underselling it; Damien Martinez at No. 226 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 15 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
This one needs a full-page explanation: De'Corian Clark in the 252nd overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
