Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureA
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Burnip: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: James Burnip, slot 252, roughly 94 picks past where he belonged.

It is not that Mukuba is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slid further than he should have, and the 33rd pick is lovely value for the safety. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in the 48th overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick 94 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Andrew Mukuba at safety with quarterback and edge rusher open.
Pick114 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A tidy little value on Savion Williams in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick133 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 133 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Nothing to complain about; Hayden Conner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to Round 5, Pick 17, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They paid sticker price for Jackson Hawes in the 224th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252 Rnd7 James Burnip
Circle this one: James Burnip at the 252nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
