Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Dolphins a B-.

The Cade Klubnik selection is the head-turner. The Dolphins reached 42 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, reach and all.
Pick43 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at the 43rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
By-the-book stuff, Domonique Orange at pick 75 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Klubnik well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 90 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
A tidy bit of business in No. 111, where Michael Trigg graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Skyler Gill-Howard at pick 149 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in slot 227 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
