Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Scott fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Justin Scott got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 103. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Colin Simmons
In the 3rd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey'Dez Green at pick No. 34. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Reed Harris
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Reed Harris. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Justin Scott
Justin Scott in Round 4, Pick 2 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Earl Little Jr.
A safety of that caliber at the 142nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick165 Rnd5 Shadre Hurst
Shadre Hurst at slot 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Maraad Watson
No drama and no debate, Maraad Watson went about where he belonged in No. 181. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Xavier Chaplin
They paid sticker price for Xavier Chaplin in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III slid further than he should have, and pick 255 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
