Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Pavia: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Diego Pavia, the No. 91 name on the board, stolen at No. 149.

Every board in the league had Freeling lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Nothing to complain about; Mansoor Delane went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
By-the-book stuff, Garrett Nussmeier at pick 43 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in Round 3, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Michael Taaffe in slot 87, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 90 with a little surplus value in Darrell Jackson Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Diego Pavia
The board fumbled Diego Pavia all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
