Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Whoever sat across the table from the Dolphins should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Mesidor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Dolphins clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In the end it comes back to Mansoor Delane, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the 12th pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
They liked Akheem Mesidor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 43. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
No drama and no debate, Omar Cooper Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 11. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caden Curry in pick 111. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
No edge and no loss on Sawyer Robertson in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
A tidy little value on Keyshaun Elliott in the 196th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
