Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Dolphins answered their biggest question with Sorsby. Grade: C+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Brendan Sorsby is the Dolphins' quarterback, full stop. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Every board in the league had Adebawore lower, and that gap is the story. They banked enough surplus on Montgomery to cover a lot of smaller sins. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brendan Sorsby
In pick 11 they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A big swing on Kenyatta Jackson Jr. at the 41st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at No. 75 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Luke Montgomery
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Luke Montgomery for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Sam Leavitt
No edge and no loss on Sam Leavitt in Round 4, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kameryn Crawford
Value said wait; Kameryn Crawford in the 111th overall pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick No. 149 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227 Rnd7 Austin Romaine
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Romaine at slot 227, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
