Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Dolphins drew a line under the quarterback search with Mendoza: D.

The Dolphins lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
A slide stopped in No. 11, with Caleb Downs worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick16 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the 16th pick they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
