Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB- TradesF FutureA-
Grand theft in No. 97: the Dolphins steal Golday and grade out a D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Dolphins shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The Rivers pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Golday.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenyon Sadiq in pick 34. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 49, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 57th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75 Rnd3 Gennings Dunker
Steal is underselling it; Gennings Dunker at Round 3, Pick 11 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at slot 82 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in slot 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to pick No. 97, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take Chandler Rivers, a cornerback that was not the priority.
Pick111 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry in the 111th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at No. 129 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Demond Claiborne at pick 141 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Somehow CJ Daniels was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Stroman at the 161st pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick163 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 163 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kaleb Proctor
They read the board right and Kaleb Proctor was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sam Roush
They robbed the room for Sam Roush here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Dane Key
They let Dane Key come to them and pounced at pick 227. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
