Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 11 lands the Dolphins a B-, Altmyer and all.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Luke Altmyer fell into Round 7, Pick 11.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Tiernan reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 11th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at No. 43 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Beck
They paid sticker price for Carson Beck in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
They let Malik Muhammad come to them and pounced at pick No. 87. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omar Cooper Jr. in the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Joe Royer
The board had Joe Royer higher than slot 111, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A reach for Aaron Graves in pick 150; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at the 227th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
