Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Dolphins did exactly that with J. Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 238. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Corleone steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 11th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick No. 30 they get a three-down second-level presence, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They read the board right and Dillon Thieneman was the payoff at the 43rd overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at No. 75 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at Round 3, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Klare
Value with a capital V on Max Klare in pick 90, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A slide stopped in No. 94, with Daylen Everette worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in slot 130 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick151 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil in pick No. 151 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Thaddeus Dixon in the Round 7 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick238 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They reached into another round for J. Michael Sturdivant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
