Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malaki Starks, the No. 27 name on the board, in pick 48. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Lampkin to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 13th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to slot 48, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at No. 98 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dorian Strong. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They liked Logan Brown enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 33. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
They took Jah Joyner at par in pick 152, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A big swing on Willie Lampkin at pick No. 155, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in the 224th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A slide stopped in slot 242, with Jermari Harris worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
No drama and no debate, Tonka Hemingway went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
