Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Marshel Martin pick is the one that will follow the Dolphins into the fall. They took him 150 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 21 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at pick No. 157 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Marshel Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Marshel Martin this early at Round 6, Pick 11. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 200th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 239, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
