Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Oronde Gadsden II at No. 135, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 13th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They paid sticker price for Alfred Collins in pick No. 48, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in Round 4, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 135 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
No drama and no debate, Luke Kandra went about where he belonged in pick 150. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jah Joyner. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They took Dante Trader Jr. at par in the 224th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick231 Rnd7 Sam Brown Jr.
A reach for Sam Brown Jr. in the 231st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A conviction pick on Donovan Smith at Round 7, Pick 37 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
