Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Dolphins a B. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Dolphins would have aced it. Tyreak Sapp at the 156th overall pick is 118 spots clear of where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
On value alone, Mukuba makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
The Dolphins indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots stayed open.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Cameron Williams
In No. 19 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all.
Pick48
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach slot 48 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 55 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They paid sticker price for Mason Taylor in the 98th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Evan Stewart at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 14 on Andrew Mukuba with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick149
Rnd5
Joshua Gray
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Gray in pick 149, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Tyreak Sapp
A big swing on Tyreak Sapp at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 164 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick224
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at pick No. 224 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231
Rnd7
Garrett Greene
Garrett Greene in the 231st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in Round 7, Pick 35 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
