Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Dolphins drew a line under the quarterback search with Moore: C-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Dante Moore is the Dolphins' quarterback, full stop. The final tally is a middling C-.

If Halton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The Stowers steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher and running back went begging.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 10 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick19 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In pick 19 they get a franchise quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ Allen at pick No. 62 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor slid further than he should have, and slot 71 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Michael Taaffe in the 83rd pick leaves edge rusher and running back for later.
Pick93 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
Steal is underselling it; A'Mauri Washington at Round 3, Pick 29 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cayden Green
They read the board right and Cayden Green was the payoff at the 100th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
They will replay Eli Stowers at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick118 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Lance. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in the 141st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 19 with a little surplus value in Oscar Delp. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick No. 221 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick246 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
No edge and no loss on Diego Pavia in slot 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick255 Rnd7 Haynes King
Value said wait; Haynes King in the 255th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
