Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
C
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Lawson: C. The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Deontae Lawson, the No. 82 name on the board, in No. 151. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Allen pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 11th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value.
Pick40
Rnd2
Carnell Tate
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Carnell Tate in Round 2, Pick 8, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
They barely believed it either: Kenyon Sadiq still on the board at No. 43. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick65
Rnd3
Romello Height
Romello Height in pick 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker in slot 74 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
They will replay Caleb Tiernan at pick No. 75 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
They let Treydan Stukes come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the 94th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106
Rnd4
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in pick 106 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130
Rnd4
Caden Curry
No drama and no debate, Caden Curry went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 30. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
They went early on Kaytron Allen in the 141st pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143
Rnd5
Max Klare
They robbed the room for Max Klare here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach slot 151 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick183
Rnd6
Albert Regis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Albert Regis at the 183rd overall pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
