Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins land in the muddy middle: C+.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Dolphins did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They are betting Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him.
Pick61 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 61 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They paid a round early for Theo Johnson in the 166th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 207 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in the 250th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
