Draft Grade — Dolphins

ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

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.

The Helm value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: tight end settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 13 they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They took Marcus Mbow at par in the 48th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Nice patience on Gunnar Helm, who had no business lasting to the 98th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
