Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Dolphins: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Dolphins did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will need Green to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Cayden Green
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, reach and all.
Pick43 Rnd2 Payton Pierce
Payton Pierce at the 43rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mason Curtis
Mason Curtis in slot 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
They jumped the gun on Trey'Dez Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jadan Baugh
They went early on Jadan Baugh in pick No. 90, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brendan Sorsby. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle Altuner
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Altuner at pick 149 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jalen Hale
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Hale in Round 7, Pick 11. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
