Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Harris: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Tre Harris, the No. 48 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Abdul Carter at the 13th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Cam Ward
They will replay Cam Ward at Round 3, Pick 34 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at pick No. 114 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach the 149th overall pick and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 154 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in pick 224 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick231 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 231st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at Round 7, Pick 36 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
