Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Dolphins left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Dolphins, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The cost of the Kamara reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Fernando Mendoza gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get their quarterback of the future, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick12 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
Kadyn Proctor in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick35 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They jumped the gun on Olaivavega Ioane, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
The board had Kenyon Sadiq higher than No. 36, and the tight end fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. at pick No. 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Omar Cooper Jr. in pick 76 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in slot 82 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the 87th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Blake Miller
Blake Miller in pick 112 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick182 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Nwankpa. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They paid a round early for Trey Zuhn III in No. 227, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
