Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Dolphins spent slot 184 on Nathan Thomas, a name the board had a full 44 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Trotter Jr.. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In the 27th overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
No drama and no debate, Christian Haynes went about where he belonged in slot 59. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Somehow Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was still sitting there in No. 90, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Will Shipley
They took Will Shipley at par in Round 3, Pick 37, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 112 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 184th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They reached into another round for Javontae Jean-Baptiste, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
A straight-up fair deal on Keaton Bills at pick 241, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
