Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Dolphins lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Dominic Zvada. He came off 44 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They banked enough surplus on Wheatley to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 12 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in the 45th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Value with a capital V on Sonny Styles in pick No. 48, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Fair-plus on Keith Abney II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange slipping to the 89th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in pick 90 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at pick No. 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at slot 111 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Good price on Kage Casey in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick227 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
They reached into another round for Dominic Zvada, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
