Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Trotter: D-.

The phones were a trap the Dolphins kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher and running back went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. McClellan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Trotter steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in pick 19 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Good price on Emmanuel Pregnon in No. 43, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 51, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Malachi Fields. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Nothing to complain about; Julian Neal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Cooper Jr. in the 87th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Somehow Josiah Trotter was still sitting there in pick No. 90, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
They went early on Chris McClellan in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Hezekiah Masses
A curious use of slot 119. Edge rusher and running back needed the pick; a cornerback in Hezekiah Masses did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A straight-up fair deal on Keagen Trost at Round 5, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the 227th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
