Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Dolphins: C.

Nobody else had Brady Cook anywhere near the 98th overall pick. The Dolphins did, by 155 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

That Walker pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Armand Membou that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the 12th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Somehow Jack Sawyer was still sitting there in pick No. 46, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brady Cook
A wild overpay on Brady Cook in slot 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 99th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in Round 4, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
A big swing on Theo Wease Jr. at the 156th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Elijhah Badger well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick228 Rnd7 David Walker
David Walker in pick 228 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tyreak Sapp
Value said wait; Tyreak Sapp in slot 251 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
