Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kenyon Sadiq fell into pick 227. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The whole projection now runs through Fernando Mendoza; hit there and everything else looks smarter. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In slot 11 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick43 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 43rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
Taking Spencer Fano in the 75th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey in the 87th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kayden McDonald
They will replay Kayden McDonald at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 111 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jermod McCoy in pick No. 149, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick227 Rnd7 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in Round 7, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
