Most analysts gave the Fins an A or A- after the 2020 draft. After a year of playing lets analyze how those picks played out and regrade.
1- Tua D+ : obviously it was disappointing how he played for a top 5 pick. Weak arm strength, looked small in the pocket and the pick looks bad considering how much better Herbert played. Hopefully with better skill players he can develop.
1- Jackson B- : played pretty good at times, then had a couple of poor games.
1- Iggy F : just an inexcusable horrendous pick. Team needed a RB and passed on Edwards-Helaire, Taylor and Dobbins.
2- Hunt C+ : showed promise, will get better.
2- Davis B+ : best pick they made in the draft. Provided good run support, should be aforce with work.
3- Jones C : showed decent promise, can be solid player.
4- Kindley B : 2nd best pick. Building block for good OLine
5-Strowbridge C : shows some potential, decent mid round flyer.
5- Weaver F ; not going to hit every pick.
7- Perry B : good pick for a guy that some skill and great character.

So after year 1- overall grade would be a C+.
Not bad but below what most expected. If they would have taken 1 of the 3 stud RBs this grade would be a B.
 
I believe it was a very good draft.

Cut Tua much slack, he’s throwing to receivers that can’t separate or get open deep. Bottom of the NFL in yards after catch. DVP is the one-eyed man in the Land of the Blind.

His running game is non-existant with runners that are the bottom of the NFL in yards after contact.

No preseason and an OC that has him in handcuffs.

Tua is still an A in my book.

Pretty fair analysis, it should have been a much better draft with the assets we had
 
It was a brilliant draft. We had 4 starters on offense play all year. We fixed the awful o-line and got some good pieces for defense like Davis and Jones. 6 or 7 starters is really hitting it out of the park. Plus all of these guys have upside, especially Tua.
 
Good post.

I'd give Tua a C+. He was more game manager than playmaker, but he didn't lose games for Miami. Considering the lack of talent at wide receiver, this was a tough spot for a rookie quarterback.

I'd give Jones a B. He was a pleasant surprise.
 
The Iggy pick shall be graded as 'incomplete', because we have no idea what the medical guys were telling the F.O. about Howard or whether we were intent of trading him away. Then the kid lost his preseason and wasn't ready at the drop... in the long run, he didn't play much until Howard got ejected... and then he played well.

Jones a C? After playing pretty well all year?

Davis was an A. We got an extremely nice player and probable long-time starter in the 2nd round.

Take it easy man. I would say most of our rookies if not all were pretty good picks. Iggy is the youngest player in the league and really only has 2 years playing corner. He shouldn't even really be graded right now since our intent was not for him to help our team this year. He will blossom into a really good player. Davis is definitely an A and same with Kindley. I would give Jackson a B. How do you give Brandon Jones a C? What did he do wrong he was a nice solid player who did what was expected of him. My Overall grade would be a B. Weaver was injured so you can't really grade him. C'mon

That's pretty close to what I would do. Maybe an incomplete for Iggy.

He clearly wasn't ready early in the season and didn't play much after that.

Great point on IGGY. Outside of QB, CB is widely considered the toughest position to learn and master at the NFL level.

Considering he didn’t have much of a camp and zero preseason games — it’s not totally surprising he was blowing assignments as was reported.

Lots of good corners have struggled mightily early on in their careers then managed to figure it out.

I’m gonna wait a while before making a final determination on him. Besides, he’s got Flores to coach him up. I think there’s a good chance he ends up alright.

Tua came from rehab and played only 9 games with a weak offense (sub-par OL, poor receivers and lack of running game) and he gets a D+? got it!
Iggy should be incomplete, he is a project type player that was not expected to have immediate impact. Hopefully this article will help you understand this: https://www.si.com/nfl/draft/news/2020-nfl-draft-grades-miami-dolphins. I think year 2 we will see more of what type of player Iggy becomes.
 
Who the **** is this Iggy? Is he one of our players? Maybe on the practice squad

They are all incomplete. There’s no way to tell after one year what any of these guys will give long term.

None of them showed greatness. There’s no guarantee any of them will improve and no guarantee they won’t regress in year 2.
