Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Dolphins let Nolen fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Dolphins fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

Nolen falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jahdae Barron and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 20 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 48th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 82 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 116th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A tidy little value on Cody Simon in Round 4, Pick 33, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Value with a capital V on Malachi Moore in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick151 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in pick 151 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
They took Nick Nash at par in the 155th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 191 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West is a better player than slot 197 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
No edge and no loss on Robert Longerbeam in the 224th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at Round 7, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at No. 253 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
