Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Dolphins, and a C+ to match.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Jaheim Bell, 47 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Zak Zinter
They reached a country mile for Zak Zinter at the 63rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the 94th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A reach for Joe Milton III in No. 155; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 186 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A reach on De'Corian Clark in Round 6, Pick 24; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick239 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at pick No. 239, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
