Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureC+
Good, not great, for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins did not so much draft Kaleb Elarms-Orr as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Stukes falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Dolphins indulged a want in Johnson while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
A tidy little value on Mansoor Delane in pick 11, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 30th pick on Chris Johnson, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick43 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Derrick Moore. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to No. 75, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in slot 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at the 90th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in No. 94 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Treydan Stukes in pick 130 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They talked themselves into Beau Stephens at the 133rd overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at pick No. 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
They reached a country mile for Keagen Trost at the 151st pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
A conviction pick on Jalen Huskey at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick238 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
A big swing on Isaac Smith at Round 7, Pick 22, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
