Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Dolphins cashed the board's mistake on Mathews Jr.: C+.

Somebody in pick 193 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Dolphins sat still while Jermaine Mathews Jr., the No. 162 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a press-man option on the boundary. More want than need.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Circle this one: Kamari Ramsey at pick No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers slid further than he should have, and the 75th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
The board fumbled Jadarian Price all the way to the 87th pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick89 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Connor Lew
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Lew reach No. 90 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caden Curry at slot 111. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Fair-plus on Bryce Lance, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
They let Jaeden Roberts come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 29. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Value with a capital V on Drew Allar in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 153 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Taking Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the 193rd pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
