Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for KJ Jefferson. He came off 70 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Reid at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick 48, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tory Horton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tory Horton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 114th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at pick No. 133 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
They paid sticker price for DeMonte Capehart in Round 5, Pick 12, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at the 154th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Addison West
Addison West in No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
They reached a country mile for KJ Jefferson at slot 231, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at pick 252 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
