Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

The Dolphins spent real capital to be 58 picks early on Jack Pyburn, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Scott at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The Dolphins indulged a want in Scott while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 11 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid sticker price for D'Angelo Ponds in Round 2, Pick 11, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A surprising call. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent the 75th pick on Keionte Scott, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick87 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Of all the spots to shop, they chose cornerback. Treydan Stukes in the 87th overall pick leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick90 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 30 with a little surplus value in Skyler Bell. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They reached into another round for Beau Stephens, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
The board had cheaper options than Keagen Trost at the 163rd pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jack Pyburn
Value said wait; Jack Pyburn in slot 227 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
