Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Fitzgerald: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Dolphins were there to profit. Ryan Fitzgerald, the No. 169 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Ratledge reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tate Ratledge. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in pick 98 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at No. 116 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at the 135th pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker at Round 5, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Steal is underselling it; Brashard Smith at pick No. 155 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at slot 224 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick 231 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw at the 253rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
