Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Boston from sliding. Grade: B. The board owed the Dolphins one, and it paid up: Denzel Boston, the No. 30 name on the board, sitting there at No. 94 like a gift left on the doorstep.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In No. 11 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In the 30th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at pick 43 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 23, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Chris Bell
Chris Bell at the 90th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94
Rnd3
Denzel Boston
They will replay Denzel Boston at pick No. 94 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130
Rnd4
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jack Endries
A tight end of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at Round 7, Pick 11 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
A straight-up fair deal on Diego Pavia at pick 238, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
