Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Ethan Downs, 31 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Edwards value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Starks pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end and linebacker.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 17th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Malaki Starks in the 48th overall pick leaves tight end and linebacker for later.
Pick62 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in No. 62, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
They liked Xavier Restrepo enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Farmer at slot 109 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 14 with a little surplus value in Anthony Belton. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 135 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough slid further than he should have, and the 150th overall pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
Andres Borregales in No. 155 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A real head-scratcher, Ty Hamilton in pick 224 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the 231st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
A wild overpay on Ethan Downs in slot 253, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
