Abrown12 DRAFTING FOR THEDolphins

Draft Grade — Dolphins

The Dolphins did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Dolphins spent pick No. 87 on Devin Moore while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots sat unaddressed. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Moore to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In the 11th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick30
Rnd1
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in the 30th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick43
Rnd2
Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at Round 2, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
A tidy little value on Chase Bisontis in the 75th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Devin Moore
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 87 on Devin Moore with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick90
Rnd3
Deion Burks
No edge and no loss on Deion Burks in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 94 on Malik Muhammad, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick130
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in pick 130 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick151
Rnd5
Louis Moore
They liked Louis Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 151. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick227
Rnd7
Xavier Nwankpa
They paid sticker price for Xavier Nwankpa in Round 7, Pick 11, and that is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick238
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
