Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Matthew Jones a full 25 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Jackson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 21 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 158 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the 184th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Somehow Jha'Quan Jackson was still sitting there in No. 198, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 21 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
