Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins robbed the room for Cornelius. Final grade: C-.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ajani Cornelius, the No. 114 name on the board, in the 151st overall pick. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 20th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marcus Mbow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They took Denzel Burke at par in Round 3, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick98 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in No. 98 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors is a better player than pick 115 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Phillips at pick No. 121. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Value with a capital V on Terrance Ferguson in slot 135, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in No. 151 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kobe King
The board fumbled Kobe King all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 17 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick226 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They robbed the room for Woody Marks here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Nice patience on Jamon Dumas-Johnson, who had no business lasting to slot 233. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 252nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
