Miami Dolphins NFL Draft grade compared to the rest of the AFC East

NFL Draft Grade – Miami Dolphins: C+

This one is difficult to grade because the Miami Dolphins sold off most of their draft capital in order to acquire Tyreek Hill, leaving them with very few picks to judge.

Their first choice came late on Day 2 when they selected Georgia linebacker Channing Tindall with the 102nd overall pick. The speedy blitzer fills a need for Miami, and could become a starter at some point during the upcoming season, given the lack of firepower at his position. Think of him as a potential spy for Josh Allen.

They added depth with their next two picks, a questionable move given that they have holes to fill on the offensive line and are perhaps in the market for one more running back. In the 4th round, the Dolphins selected wide receiver Erik Ezukanma, and linebacker Cameron Goode in the 7th.

The most questionable pick of the day came in the waiting moments, as Miami selected quarterback Skylar Thompson from Kansas State. Knee-jerk reactions on Dolphins Twitter called for a possible quarterback competition, but there will be no such thing. Thompson will likely be a practice squad player at best, at least for the 2022 season.
