Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Dolphins: B.

The Dolphins clearly saw something nobody else did in Wesley Bissainthe, taking him 58 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That Scott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 12 they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 30th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
They let Dontay Corleone come to them and pounced at pick 75. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
You do not let a cornerback like Keionte Scott reach pick No. 87 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick90 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Value said wait; Nicholas Singleton in Round 3, Pick 26 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick No. 92 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick94 Rnd3 Deion Burks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deion Burks at pick 94. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mason Reiger
They reached a country mile for Mason Reiger at the 97th pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at No. 130 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick196 Rnd6 Domani Jackson
The board fumbled Domani Jackson all the way to Round 6, Pick 15, and they scooped it up. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick227 Rnd7 Wesley Bissainthe
Wesley Bissainthe in the 227th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 TJ Hall
They will replay TJ Hall at slot 238 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
