Draft Grade — Dolphins

Larceny in pick No. 155 lands the Dolphins a B-, Lane and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jaylin Lane tumbling to the Dolphins in Round 5, Pick 17 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Landon Jackson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the 48th pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
By-the-book stuff, Dylan Fairchild at pick No. 98 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at pick 116 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the 135th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
They let Hollin Pierce come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 12. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
No edge and no loss on Alijah Huzzie in No. 224; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick231 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They liked Dante Trader Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick253 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick 253, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
