Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The search is over. The Dolphins handed the keys to Ty Simpson, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Price at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Iheanachor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In pick 11 they get their guy under center for the next decade, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30 Rnd1 Max Iheanachor
A conviction pick on Max Iheanachor at the 30th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 43rd pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 75 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Circle this one: Jadarian Price at Round 3, Pick 23 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach No. 90 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone at pick No. 94 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Justin Joly
Nice patience on Justin Joly, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses at No. 151 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227 Rnd7 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in slot 227 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
A reach on Diego Pavia in pick No. 238; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
