Ryker DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall

FutureB-
The Dolphins let Mateer fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. When a board-topper like John Mateer slides to Round 3, Pick 13, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In No. 12 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46
Rnd2
CJ Allen
CJ Allen in pick 46 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77
Rnd3
John Mateer
They robbed the room for John Mateer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
They did well to land Keon Sabb in the 85th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86
Rnd3
Joe Royer
Joe Royer at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
