Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Nadame Tucker, 80 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Montgomery value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 11th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In pick No. 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at No. 43. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at the 75th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 23 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick90 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at the 94th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Bishop Fitzgerald while clear needs at quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots sat open.
Pick151 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A reach on Beau Stephens in slot 151; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick227 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery at the 227th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick238 Rnd7 Travis Burke
Travis Burke at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
