Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent the 231st overall pick on Davin Vann, a name most had 43 spots down the list.

The West steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick 13 they get a wrecking ball inside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Watts in pick No. 48. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the 119th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A quiet steal in No. 135: Jacob Parrish for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 150th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 155th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 193 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 CJ West
Circle this one: CJ West at the 224th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick231 Rnd7 Davin Vann
A big swing on Davin Vann at pick 231, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Yarns at No. 253, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
