Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Dolphins.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Dolphins will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 11 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in No. 43; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick75 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
They paid sticker price for Garrett Nussmeier in Round 3, Pick 11, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They did well to land Zakee Wheatley in pick No. 87, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90 Rnd3 Austin Barber
Austin Barber at the 90th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
