Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedC+ TradesC- FutureB-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped King from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Kobe King sat on the board until the 224th pick, and the Dolphins did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Nelson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at pick No. 48 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Fairchild in the 98th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 133 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
The board fumbled Mason Taylor all the way to the 149th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kobe King
You do not let a linebacker like Kobe King reach No. 224 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at Round 7, Pick 15 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They liked Garrett Dellinger enough to skip the value, taking him in the 252nd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
