Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureA-
The Dolphins fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for J. Michael Sturdivant. He came off 114 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Scott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Caleb Lomu
In slot 18 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early.
Pick30
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 30 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dontay Corleone well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They barely believed it either: A.J. Haulcy still on the board at the 75th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A big swing on Nicholas Singleton at pick 80, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Taking Keionte Scott in No. 87 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
The board had Domonique Orange higher than the Round 3 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 3, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Muhammad. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick112
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 112 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
A reach for Parker Brailsford in slot 115; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth at pick 130 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the 151st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162
Rnd5
J. Michael Sturdivant
A wild overpay on J. Michael Sturdivant in the 162nd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil is a better player than No. 174 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in the 196th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
