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

The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jake Golday, the No. 59 name on the board, in the 130th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Fano to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick No. 11 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
A premium they did not need to pay, Caleb Banks a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dillon Thieneman at the Round 2 slot is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
They paid a round early for Kyle Louis in No. 75, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at the 87th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
They took Skyler Bell at par in slot 90, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
They let Garrett Nussmeier come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 30. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jake Golday
Circle this one: Jake Golday at the 130th pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
Nice patience on Hezekiah Masses, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 11. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick227 Rnd7 Logan Fano
They reached a country mile for Logan Fano at the 227th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Taking Chase Roberts in slot 238 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
