Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Thieneman: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

On value alone, Thieneman makes the weekend a net positive. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 26th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse is a better player than pick 43 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 3, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick No. 82 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at the 87th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Kobi Lane at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in the 90th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mikail Kamara. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry at pick No. 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at Round 4, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A reasonable price with a little left over, Beau Stephens in pick 149. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A tidy little value on Drew Allar in the 150th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick158 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
They robbed the room for Gracen Halton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They let Kyle Louis come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tanner Koziol in the 177th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in No. 194 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
