Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Dolphins for Scott: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Keionte Scott got past him. The Dolphins do not have to explain a thing at slot 87.

The Moore pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end, running back and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Fair-plus on Carnell Tate, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
No drama and no debate, Lee Hunter went about where he belonged in pick 59. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Nice patience on Jake Golday, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to the 87th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zachariah Branch at Round 3, Pick 26 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Devin Moore
A want over a need in pick No. 91: Devin Moore adds a cornerback while tight end, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick106 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A tidy little value on Chase Bisontis in No. 106, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caden Curry in slot 111. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 149 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They paid up for Aaron Graves at the 150th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
Brenen Thompson in slot 163 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at No. 227 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
