Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Caden Curry, 36 picks early at No. 94.

With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They banked enough surplus on Thieneman to cover a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In No. 11 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Johnson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Chris Johnson at cornerback with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in pick No. 43, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick75 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
No drama and no debate, Elijah Sarratt went about where he belonged in slot 75. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in the 90th pick: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caden Curry
They reached into another round for Caden Curry, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 130th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at the 151st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
They paid up for Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick 227 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick238 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
A wild overpay on Riley Nowakowski in pick No. 238, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
