Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

The Dolphins robbed the room for Abney II. Final grade: C-. The Dolphins spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keith Abney II, the No. 44 name on the board, in pick No. 87. A weekend of give and take that grades a C-.
Every board in the league had Reiger lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They will answer for taking cornerback early while interior defensive lineman went begging.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Hit on Kenyon Sadiq and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick30
Rnd1
Colton Hood
In pick 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Thieneman at the 43rd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Keith Abney II while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick91
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in the 91st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
You do not let a wide receiver like Zachariah Branch reach pick No. 92 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at No. 93 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in Round 3, Pick 30 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mason Reiger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason Reiger well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nicholas Singleton in the 127th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
They let Michael Trigg come to them and pounced at slot 130. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Nadame Tucker
A real head-scratcher, Nadame Tucker in Round 5, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207
Rnd6
Taylen Green
The board had Taylen Green higher than pick No. 207, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227
Rnd7
Kendrick Law
They will replay Kendrick Law at No. 227 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
