Jimmyneutron571 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
D+
ValueF
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Dolphins fought the board and lost. D+. The Dolphins spent real capital to be 293 picks early on Jam Griffin, and the board is going to hold them to it. Put together, it is a D+.
Ayomanor falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Amari Kight
In slot 13 they get a building block for the line, a steep price for the projection.
Pick48
Rnd2
Jalen Milroe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jalen Milroe in pick No. 48, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98
Rnd3
Hayden Conner
A big swing on Hayden Conner at the 98th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jam Griffin
They reached into another round for Jam Griffin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Luke Elzinga
A wild overpay on Luke Elzinga in the 151st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick156
Rnd5
R.J. Mickens
Value said wait; R.J. Mickens in No. 156 says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick226
Rnd7
Tommy Akingbesote
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Akingbesote in the 226th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233
Rnd7
Shaun Dolac
Shaun Dolac at pick No. 233 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Max Brosmer
Max Brosmer at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
