Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Dolphins, and a B- to prove it.

There is a lot to like until you notice wide receiver is still a hole. The Dolphins never got to the one that mattered most. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The Lee III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Wheatley reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In pick No. 12 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
They took Garrett Nussmeier at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick77 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A reach on Zakee Wheatley in Round 3, Pick 13; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at the 85th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Value with a capital V on Will Lee III in slot 86, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 112th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
