Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Dolphins and Roush: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Sam Roush got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at pick 130.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Taaffe pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board. The Moore pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 11th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In pick No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in the 43rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Taking A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
The board fumbled Caleb Tiernan all the way to pick 87, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Value with a capital V on Malachi Fields in No. 90, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Michael Taaffe in slot 94 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick130 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Steal is underselling it; Sam Roush at Round 4, Pick 30 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Eli Raridon in the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law in Round 7, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
By-the-book stuff, Desmond Reid at the 238th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
