Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Dolphins got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Dolphins did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They are betting Robertson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. It is not that Everette is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That Thieneman pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Fair-plus on Emmanuel Pregnon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They let Dillon Thieneman come to them and pounced at pick No. 51. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick75 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A clean, defensible pick in slot 75 with a little surplus value in Malachi Fields. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Nice patience on Malik Muhammad, who had no business lasting to pick 87. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Daylen Everette at cornerback with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots open.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at No. 111 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in the 119th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
They reached a country mile for Sawyer Robertson at No. 149, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in Round 7, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
