Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC- FutureB-
The Dolphins landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent pick 112 on Malachi Lawrence, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower.

With interior defensive lineman and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The Hill Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

Hit on Kenyon Sadiq and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 28 they get a security blanket over the middle, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
A clean, defensible pick in the 38th overall pick with a little surplus value in Brandon Cisse. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick43 Rnd2 Blake Miller
They jumped the gun on Blake Miller, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick59 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 59 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 75 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They did well to land Zakee Wheatley in the 87th pick, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick95 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Genesis Smith at safety with interior defensive lineman and running back open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A curious use of No. 111. Interior defensive lineman and running back needed the pick; a cornerback in Davison Igbinosun did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Malachi Lawrence
They talked themselves into Malachi Lawrence at the 112th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
By-the-book stuff, CJ Daniels at Round 4, Pick 31 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
No edge and no loss on Nate Boerkircher in slot 149; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
Jalen Farmer is a better player than pick 166 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in pick No. 215 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Fair-plus on Thaddeus Dixon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They liked Cole Payton enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 11. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in slot 243 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
