Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA
Larceny in slot 233 lands the Dolphins a B+, Monangai and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kyle Monangai, the Round 7 slot, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

If Ratledge pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
A clean, defensible pick in Round 1, Pick 24 with a little surplus value in Walter Nolen. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 48th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jack Bech
They robbed the room for Jack Bech here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board had Charles Grant higher than slot 115, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at pick 117 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at the 135th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Good price on Tyler Shough in pick No. 151, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Somehow Jordan Hancock was still sitting there in pick 226, and they pounced on premier safety value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in Round 7, Pick 15 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Nothing to complain about; Jackson Hawes went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
