Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B-.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into Round 4, Pick 33.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They will replay Malaki Starks at the 48th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at the 98th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 116 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Nash. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A slide stopped in pick No. 155, with Kurtis Rourke worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid a round early for Cam Jackson in No. 224, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick No. 231 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
Nothing to complain about; LaJohntay Wester went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
