Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
Abney II should have been long gone. The Dolphins pounced, and earned a B.

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keith Abney II, the No. 44 name on the board, in the 130th overall pick.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Stephens to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 11 they get a green-dot type in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Monroe Freeling
The board fumbled Monroe Freeling all the way to the 43rd pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 47. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at pick No. 75 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Fair-plus on Keylan Rutledge, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Arvell Reese
They barely believed it either: Arvell Reese still on the board at slot 87. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Klare
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 26, with Max Klare worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A tidy little value on Ted Hurst in the 94th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Steal is underselling it; Keith Abney II at Round 4, Pick 30 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick151 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They liked Beau Stephens enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 151. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They will replay Cole Payton at slot 227 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tanner Koziol
You do not let a tight end like Tanner Koziol reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
