Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D+
ValueA NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in the 129th pick lands the Dolphins a D+, Roush and all.

The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

They will need Crawford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will answer for taking cornerback early while linebacker went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The Roush pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 43rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick59 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
They barely believed it either: Chris Johnson still on the board at pick 59. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in slot 62 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick74 Rnd3 Chris Bell
Steal is underselling it; Chris Bell at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A surprising call. With linebacker still to address, they spent pick No. 75 on Keith Abney II, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Circle this one: Eli Stowers at Round 3, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in the 90th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Keyron Crawford
They reached into another round for Keyron Crawford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Drew Shelton
They will replay Drew Shelton at Round 4, Pick 8 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Somehow Sam Roush was still sitting there in the 129th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brian Parker II
The board fumbled Brian Parker II all the way to pick No. 139, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
They read the board right and Skyler Gill-Howard was the payoff at No. 149. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Good price on Jalen Farmer in pick 163, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Taking Sawyer Robertson in the 227th pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the 244th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
