Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Dolphins did not. Blake Miller went at the 90th pick, a good 28 picks before the board was ready.

It is not that Muhammad is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Muhammad.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They paid up for Gennings Dunker at pick No. 43 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Value with a capital V on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 75th overall pick, a genuine coup. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 87 on Malik Muhammad with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Value said wait; Blake Miller in Round 3, Pick 26 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They liked Keylan Rutledge enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 111. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 149th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Fair-plus on Hykeem Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
