Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Dolphins let Simon fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cody Simon at the 223rd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every board in the league had Mertz lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 20th overall pick they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
No drama and no debate, Xavier Restrepo went about where he belonged in slot 48. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at pick No. 52 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They robbed the room for Kaleb Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They did well to land Jake Majors in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in No. 99 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Evan Stewart
They read the board right and Evan Stewart was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 14. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
The board fumbled Kevin Winston Jr. all the way to pick 149, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick156 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at pick 156 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the 223rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick232 Rnd7 Graham Mertz
A wild overpay on Graham Mertz in the 232nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board had Shilo Sanders higher than Round 7, Pick 37, and the safety fell to them anyway. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
