Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Singleton from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 8 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Nicholas Singleton, the No. 99 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Mellott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tidy little value on Tyler Warren in pick No. 48, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at the 98th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in pick 99, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 115 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 149th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at slot 156 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in Round 7, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommy Mellott well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
