Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Joshua Simon, 71 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That Howard pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 13 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in slot 116 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Will Howard
Somehow Will Howard was still sitting there in the 135th pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the 150th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Wease Jr. in the 224th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon in No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Smith at pick 253 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
