Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Dolphins answered their biggest question with Moore. Grade: D.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Dolphins took Mikail Kamara a full 34 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

So much rides on Dante Moore that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Iamaleava falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In slot 4 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick19 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 19 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Carnell Tate at pick No. 35 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Lomu. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They read the board right and Jake Slaughter was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 22. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick61 Rnd2 Colton Hood
A reach for Colton Hood in No. 61; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick64 Rnd2 Max Klare
They jumped the gun on Max Klare, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 75th overall pick with a little surplus value in Darrell Jackson Jr.. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at pick No. 80 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, D'Angelo Ponds in Round 4, Pick 29, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick137 Rnd4 Nico Iamaleava
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 137 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at pick 143 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Bray Hubbard
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Bray Hubbard graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at pick 162 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Circle this one: Taylen Green at pick No. 204 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at slot 208 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Amare Campbell at the 218th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
