Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureF
The Dolphins won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: C+. Nobody had Patrick Payton this high, and it is not close. The Dolphins reached 58 spots to get him at pick No. 200. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Branch falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Francis Mauigoa
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick30
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A quiet steal in the 75th pick: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
The board fumbled Zachariah Branch all the way to the 87th overall pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at pick No. 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at Round 3, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
They paid up for DeMonte Capehart at No. 130 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
They reached a country mile for Patrick Payton at Round 6, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick227
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
A reach on Robert Spears-Jennings in the 227th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick238
Rnd7
Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Latrell McCutchin Sr. in pick No. 238 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas slid further than he should have, and pick 248 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick250
Rnd7
Miller Moss
They liked Miller Moss enough to skip the value, taking him in the 250th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
