Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Dolphins robbed the room for Taaffe. Final grade: C-.

The Dolphins did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Michael Taaffe fell into the Round 3 slot.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Hit on Avieon Terrell and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In the 31st overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
A quiet steal in pick No. 43: KC Concepcion for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
Circle this one: Caleb Lomu at Round 2, Pick 17 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at pick 59 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick75 Rnd3 Max Klare
You do not let a tight end like Max Klare reach slot 75 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
Steal is underselling it; Gennings Dunker at the 82nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick87 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
The board fumbled Michael Taaffe all the way to No. 87, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They barely believed it either: Jadarian Price still on the board at slot 95. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in the 111th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They did well to land Kyle Louis in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 189th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in pick 200 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
