Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins bet the future on Nussmeier. The board says B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Dolphins committed. Garrett Nussmeier is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Nussmeier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On value alone, Golday makes the weekend a net positive.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a cornerstone up front, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In the 30th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They read the board right and Dillon Thieneman was the payoff at pick 43. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick75 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
You do not let a linebacker like Josiah Trotter reach No. 75 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at slot 87 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Circle this one: Connor Lew at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in pick No. 94 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer in the 130th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
No drama and no debate, Reggie Virgil went about where he belonged in pick No. 151. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They let Thaddeus Dixon come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 11. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick238 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at No. 238 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
