Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins did not so much draft Roman Hemby as overpay for him, 119 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Spending an early pick on safety with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Zion Young
In No. 30 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at slot 43 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 75 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A tidy bit of business in the 87th pick, where Kamari Ramsey graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Davison Igbinosun
Nice patience on Davison Igbinosun, who had no business lasting to pick 90. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in pick 94: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while interior defensive lineman keeps waiting.
Pick130 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at slot 130 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They talked themselves into Beau Stephens at No. 139, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They reached into another round for Bryce Boettcher, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at Round 7, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roman Hemby this early at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A premium they did not need to pay, Luke Altmyer a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
