Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins let Emmanwori fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nick Emmanwori tumbling to the Dolphins in No. 48 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Horsley to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In pick No. 13 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Shough at the 98th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrance Ferguson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at slot 135 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
By-the-book stuff, Luke Kandra at No. 150 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in pick 155 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They did well to land Kyle Monangai in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Horsley this early at pick No. 231. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
They paid sticker price for Jeremy Crawshaw in Round 7, Pick 37, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
