Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureA
The Dolphins let Fields fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malachi Fields, the No. 77 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 111.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking cornerback early while edge rusher and running back went begging.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Kenyon Sadiq and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in slot 46, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick57 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Circle this one: Olaivavega Ioane at the 57th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A slide stopped in No. 63, with Garrett Nussmeier worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at Round 3, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at the 87th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
You do not let a linebacker like Deontae Lawson reach pick 89 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Klare
Taking Max Klare in pick No. 90 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Fields
They will replay Malachi Fields at pick 111 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and running back to take D'Angelo Ponds, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
A straight-up fair deal on Jude Bowry at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
By-the-book stuff, Skyler Gill-Howard at pick No. 131 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 David Oke
A quiet steal in slot 149: David Oke for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jordan White
No edge and no loss on Jordan White in Round 7, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
