Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B to prove it.

You could see the war room lean forward. D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 3 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Green has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 11 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 30 they get a matchup weapon at tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 43 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Somehow Blake Miller was still sitting there in slot 75, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They will replay D'Angelo Ponds at the 87th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker at pick 90 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in the 94th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
No edge and no loss on Kaleb Proctor in Round 4, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Taylen Green
They left a pile of value on the table to take Taylen Green this early at the Round 5 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. in pick No. 227 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Nice patience on Jimmy Rolder, who had no business lasting to the 238th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
