Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 2, Pick 16 lands the Dolphins a B-, Emmanwori and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Nick Emmanwori tumbling to the Dolphins in pick No. 48 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Grant lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 13 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 48 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 116 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A quiet steal in the 135th overall pick: Cobee Bryant for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
A tidy bit of business in the 150th pick, where Kurtis Rourke graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nothing to complain about; Nick Nash went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board had Jordan Hancock higher than No. 224, and the safety fell to them anyway. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Nice patience on Ricky White III, who had no business lasting to pick No. 231. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
The board fumbled Ja'Corey Brooks all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
