Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Dolphins let Fitzgerald fall and pounced. Final grade: D-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Phillip Webb; the Dolphins did not wait, grabbing him 113 spots ahead at No. 189.

The Fitzgerald steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In the 23rd overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 30 they get a red-zone target to build around, outstanding value to boot.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in pick 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 51 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in the 88th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 98 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Will Howard
A big swing on Will Howard at pick 113, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in Round 4, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Kyren Lacy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kyren Lacy in No. 133. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cobee Bryant this early at slot 149. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the 151st pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Phillip Webb
A real head-scratcher, Phillip Webb in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 196th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Steal is underselling it; Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 232 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick237 Rnd7 James Burnip
They will replay James Burnip at pick 237 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick252 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 252 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
