Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Julian Sayin is the Dolphins' quarterback, full stop.

Getting Matthews where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Reaching for Baker left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Julian Sayin
In No. 11 they get their quarterback of the future at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brandon Baker
Brandon Baker at pick 43 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Matthews
Circle this one: Mike Matthews at pick No. 75 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mason Curtis
A quiet steal in the 87th pick: Mason Curtis for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Ian Strong slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
