Draft Grade — Dolphins
Overall B

Larceny in Round 7, Pick 15 lands the Dolphins a B, Sanders and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Raheim Sanders, the No. 145 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 231. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Mesidor lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 13 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Booker in pick No. 48. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 98 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor slipping to Round 4, Pick 13 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A wild overpay on DeMonte Capehart in the 133rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Taking Jake Majors in the 149th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at pick 224 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Akheem Mesidor. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
