Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall A
ValueA- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Dolphins bet the future on Mestemaker. The board says A.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and David Stone fell into slot 104.

Everything downstream of Drew Mestemaker depends on Drew Mestemaker, and the building knows it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drew Mestemaker
In No. 5 they get a passer to set the clock by. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick34 Rnd2 Cam Coleman
The board fumbled Cam Coleman all the way to the 34th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Yhonzae Pierre
They robbed the room for Yhonzae Pierre here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
Trey'Dez Green at pick No. 66 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick104 Rnd4 David Stone
Circle this one: David Stone at No. 104 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Evan Tengesdahl
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 2 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 142 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tyrique Tucker
Tyrique Tucker in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
Blake Frazier at the 182nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Hollywood Smothers
Value with a capital V on Hollywood Smothers in slot 193, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd6 Fox Crader
They read the board right and Fox Crader was the payoff at No. 221. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240 Rnd7 James Smith
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like James Smith reach pick No. 240 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Zavier Mincey
Zavier Mincey in the 255th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
