Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA-
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Dolphins watched Malaki Starks slide 22 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Biggers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 15th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 48th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach No. 87 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Lathan Ransom
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Lathan Ransom while clear needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Miles Frazier at pick 116, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at the 135th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in the 150th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at the Round 5 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at pick No. 224 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at Round 7, Pick 15, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
They took Ty Hamilton at par in the 253rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
