Draft Grade — Dolphins

FutureA-
The Dolphins won the night they stopped Ponds from sliding. Grade: B. When a board-topper like D'Angelo Ponds slides to the Round 3 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Dolphins did not. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
It is not that Ponds is a bad player; it is that the Dolphins had louder needs to answer first. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Keith Abney II
A quiet steal in pick 49: Keith Abney II for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with D'Angelo Ponds while clear needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
The board fumbled Kamari Ramsey all the way to No. 87, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick90
Rnd3
Austin Barber
No drama and no debate, Austin Barber went about where he belonged in pick No. 90. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Carson Beck
A tidy little value on Carson Beck in the 111th pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in the 149th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152
Rnd5
DeMonte Capehart
Nice patience on DeMonte Capehart, who had no business lasting to slot 152. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick227
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zxavian Harris at No. 227 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
