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

The Dolphins went off the board in a big way for Austin Siereveld, 44 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 11 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that.
Pick43 Rnd2 Austin Siereveld
A real head-scratcher, Austin Siereveld in the 43rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick75 Rnd3 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ian Strong
They will replay Ian Strong at pick No. 87 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Julian Neal at Round 3, Pick 27. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 John Mateer
Circle this one: John Mateer at the 111th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ar'maj Reed-Adams. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick227 Rnd7 Drayk Bowen
Drayk Bowen in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
