Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Dolphins put a flag in the ground for Matthew Jones, 73 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid sticker price for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 56th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in pick No. 161 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached into another round for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
