Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Dolphins left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

The search is over. The Dolphins handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

With wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. Reaching for Green left real value on the table behind him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 10 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
They took Kamari Ramsey at par in pick No. 44, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick75 Rnd3 Cayden Green
They liked Cayden Green enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 75. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A premium they did not need to pay, Domonique Orange a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 93 on A.J. Haulcy with wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in No. 110 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 152nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
