Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Dolphins steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 100 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 224. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 48 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 3, Pick 34 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at pick 114 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at No. 133 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
By-the-book stuff, Hayden Conner at pick No. 149 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 154th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick224 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 224th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in the 231st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick252 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in slot 252 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
