Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 3 slot lands the Dolphins a B-, Miller and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Christen Miller had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 23, and the Dolphins did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They are betting Beck proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick 11 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Carson Beck
A wild overpay on Carson Beck in the 43rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Circle this one: A.J. Haulcy at slot 75 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at No. 87 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90 Rnd3 Taurean York
Taurean York slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at pick No. 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Earnest Greene III. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at the 227th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
