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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Dolphins started one anyway for Phillip Webb, 127 picks ahead of schedule.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 13 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at pick 48 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick80 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A conviction pick on Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They liked Joshua Farmer enough to skip the value, taking him in the 98th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Value with a capital V on Chimere Dike in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
They reached into another round for Oronde Gadsden II, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in Round 5, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
They barely believed it either: Dillon Gabriel still on the board at slot 151. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Somehow Damien Martinez was still sitting there in the 174th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at No. 204 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick224 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the 224th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A wild overpay on Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick 231, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
They talked themselves into Gino Garcia at pick No. 253, and the board did not agree. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
