Dolphins Draft Grade

Overall Grade: B

This draft was started with what we all expected Jamarcus Russel being the #1 pick but everything went out of hand after that. Lions Select Calvin Johnson their 4th receiver in 5 years and the browns take Joe Thomas in stead of their hometown boy Brady Quinn who they would eventually get through a trade. Then comes the dolphins pick everybody was expecting Quinn but we passed on him For the WR from Ohio State...

Ted Ginn, Jr. WR Ohio State
Grade:B-
This pick was not a great pick but it was a good pick, the dolphins passed on possibly a franchise QB in Brady Quinn but we got an ok receiver and amazing punt/kick returner. He has tremendous upside and if Chris Chambers can teach him how to receive maybe he can turn into a great receiver as well as a returner.

John Beck QB BYU
Grade:A++
With passing up Quinn in the first round the dolphins needed some type of QB for an insurance policy to Cleo Lemons and Daunte Culpepper. He is one of the most pro ready quarter backs in this draft and the dolphins will test this in the upcoming season, as he competes for the starting job. He has great accuracy but his power has been questioned but it is adequate. Hopefully a good pick for the Dolphins in a few years.

Sanson Satele C Hawaii
Grade:B+
A very versatile lineman that has played every position in his days at hawaii. He is also very durable playing 53 straight games almost a division 1 record. He will probably start this season at guard with the Dolphins Dismal Offensive line. He could be one of the dolphins best offensive linemen for years to come but it all depends on how he wants to perform.

Rounds 3-7 coming soon
