Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Max Iheanachor at pick 94, a reach of 47 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. With quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them.

Landing Sadiq that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
A quiet steal in pick No. 30: Kenyon Sadiq for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 38 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick43 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
They did well to land Elijah Sarratt in No. 43, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick 59 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at Round 3, Pick 11 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 87th overall pick with a little surplus value in Omar Cooper Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They zigged when the board said zag, taking D'Angelo Ponds at cornerback with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Iheanachor
Value said wait; Max Iheanachor in the 94th overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caden Curry at pick No. 111. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They reached into another round for Bud Clark, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick227 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
No drama and no debate, Riley Mahlman went about where he belonged in pick 227. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Hemby. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
