Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall
B-

FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Dolphins. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Dolphins to leave a draft.
The Tiernan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Downs falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick No. 11 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that.
Pick43
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
A wild overpay on Caleb Tiernan in the 43rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
