Draft Grade — Dolphins

The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Tommy Mellott pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 118 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 48th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 4, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
They read the board right and Joshua Farmer was the payoff at slot 133. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 149 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Mellott this early at the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick No. 252 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
