Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with Roman Hemby in slot 227. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
A reach on Gennings Dunker in pick No. 43; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 75 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Julian Neal at cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick90 Rnd3 Blake Miller
A real head-scratcher, Blake Miller in Round 3, Pick 26 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A tidy bit of business in the 111th pick, where Caden Curry graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They reached into another round for Bud Clark, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick227 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roman Hemby in pick No. 227, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
