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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Dolphins shredded theirs for Garrett Nussmeier. He came off 35 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

However the rest shakes out, Abney II at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick 11 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Value said wait; Garrett Nussmeier in Round 2, Pick 11 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Taking Keith Abney II in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
A tidy bit of business in the 87th pick, where Kamari Ramsey graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 90th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They talked themselves into Tim Keenan III at pick No. 111, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malik Benson
A quiet steal in pick No. 149: Malik Benson for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
The board had cheaper options than Diego Pavia at the 227th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
