Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B.

The Dolphins bet big and early on Malachi Lawrence, 56 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Joly to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 15th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor at the 47th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Omar Cooper Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in No. 87, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
They reached a country mile for Malachi Lawrence at pick No. 90, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Joly
They let Justin Joly come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 16. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at slot 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cole Payton
No edge and no loss on Cole Payton in the 230th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
