Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Taulia Tagovailoa; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 47 spots ahead at pick 241. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Thomas makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Joe Alt
Nice patience on Joe Alt, who had no business lasting to No. 21. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick55 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slipping to Round 2, Pick 23 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 184th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 198 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They talked themselves into Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 241, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
