Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

Somebody took the Dolphins to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The cost of the Thornton Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. However the rest shakes out, Phillips at that price is a win they earned.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at Round 2, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick68 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They paid a round early for Shemar Turner in pick No. 68, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 98th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Circle this one: Darius Alexander at the 116th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach slot 135 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Kandra at No. 150, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
They took Jordan Hancock at par in pick 213, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in pick No. 224 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid sticker price for Isaac TeSlaa in Round 7, Pick 15, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at the 253rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
