Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Castro: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Sebastian Castro slide 41 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Sanders pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Dolphins indulged a want in Winston Jr. while a need in quarterback, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They read the board right and Tyleik Williams was the payoff at pick 49. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 98th pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 114 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 117 leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
Pick133 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sebastian Castro adds a safety and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 149th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II slipping to Round 5, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Seth McLaughlin. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in Round 7, Pick 36 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
