Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Dolphins, and a C+ to match.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Dolphins spent slot 150 on Tyler Cooper, a name most had 47 spots down the list.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In pick 13 they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection.
Pick48 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid up for Azareye'h Thomas at the 48th pick when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in pick No. 98; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in No. 116, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 150th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Value with a capital V on Tyler Shough in pick 155, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick224 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at No. 224 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in pick No. 231 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They took Ty Hamilton at par in the 253rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
