Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD+
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 236, a good 51 spots before the room expected him. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Barton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 21st overall pick they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Graham Barton
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at slot 40. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in pick 55, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They took Devontez Walker at par in the 67th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Good price on Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in pick No. 114. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at pick No. 116, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick153 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A conviction pick on Xavier Thomas at Round 5, Pick 17 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 AJ Barner
They jumped the gun on AJ Barner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at the 212th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick236 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in No. 236 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
